Intel (INTC) unveiled the new Penryn chip family last week, which uses 45-nanometer processing. At 45 nanometers, they can fit 30 million transistors on the head of a pin. Penryn also incorporates the metallic alloy hafnium in place of silicon dioxide as an insulator. This is the most dramatic shift in chip production in 40 years. It is that technology that makes me confident Moore's Law and the whole technology revolution will continue past 2010 by at least another 10 years. This new technology also underlies Intel's Nehalem chip family coming in 2008, and the Silverthorne processor family about to be announced to compact, portable Internet-connected devices like ultra-mobile PCs.
