More diagrams in the article...

Very interesting.

3D is the only way to extend the law.

Ernie, I am so tired I am barely typing. Perhaps I will finally get a good nights rest. Interesting article I assure you. Sort of up my old alley of expertise. This new promoted tri-gate technology looks like it can be quite meaningful in progressing beyond the current level of Si MOS IGFET technologies.
With that. I am sure we shall hear more about it in the days to come. So my friend. With that, let me wish you a great upcoming day. I am going to hit the rack.

Similar tech. They built up.

[allmost]

You say things meant to confuse (people with different interests) and leave. How convenient. This is extraordinary. How high can they go?

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

It's late in Philly...

I am on the West Coast and it is past my bedtime.

Looks like (according to the closing remarkes ) this could show up in an Atom processors for the smartphone market...

ARM has competition.,,,it would seem.

[allmost]

Bump the tech, not the over complicating.

[Little Pig]

Ternary computing?

[Tainan]

They keep this up and I’m gonna have to update the Ol’ P2 500.

-- Ternary computing? --

Still binary. This is just a smaller footprint transistor, in plan view (viewed from "above").

There have been papers about this for years. Looks like Intel finally got a process to do it.

[Still Thinking]

I know you were casting about for the graphic for the ping list lately, and I don’t mind the current one. I DO find however, that due probably to both the mental connotation of the graffiti-ish font as well as its imprecision, I read it as “TACO PING” half the time. FYI.

[DISCLAIMER: Presumably as conservatives none of y’all jumped to this conclusion, but no, I’m not saying that anyone who enjoys or makes tacos is presumably a vato with his pants on the ground, looking like a fool, type guy. However I lived in (near) East LA, and while I like a good taco as much as the next guy, I come by my associations honestly.]

[ShadowAce]

LOL! Thanks for the input.

[Wally_Kalbacken]

That thing got a turbocharger on it?

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

My eyes too, but my eyes are screwed up ...got a distortion in the retina...straight lineds have waves...

[Marine_Uncle]

Sorry to hear that E. I keep putting off going for an eye exam.. I do know I have a cataract building up on one eye and the other that already has an old lens replacement is getting foggy. I'm paying quite a bit for COBRA I might as well try to at least get new glasses if it would help.
But the wavy lines must drive you nuts sometimes. No response required, just acknowledging your vision impairment.
