Intel unveils 3-D transistors
英语课
SAN FRANCISCO, May 4 (Xinhua) -- Intel Corp. on Wednesday announced that it will mass-manufacture chips using new transistors 2 featuring a three-dimensional (3-D) structure, calling it a technical breakthrough in microprocessors 4.
The 3-D transistor 1, called Tri-Gate, represents a fundamental departure from the two-dimensional planar transistor structure that has powered computers, mobile phones and other modern electronics, Intel said.
"Intel's scientists and engineers have once again reinvented the transistor, this time utilizing 5 the third dimension," Paul Otellini, Intel's chief executive officer, said in a statement.
Intel on Wednesday also demonstrated a 22-nanometer (nm) microprocessor 3, codenamed "Ivy 6 Bridge," which will be the first high-volume chips to use the new 3-D transistors.
Ivy Bridge is scheduled for high-volume production readiness by the end of this year, the company said.
According to Intel, the 3-D transistors enable chips to operate at lower voltage with lower leakage 7 compared to previous transistors, providing up to 37 percent performance increase at low voltage versus 8 the company's 32nm planar transistors.
The gain means that the new 3-D transistors are ideal for use in small handheld devices, which operate using less energy to " switch" back and forth 9, Intel noted 10.（本文由在线英语听力室整理编辑）
