Hafnium in new chips keeps Moore's law on schedule

Intel, IBM unveil new chip technology

The result of Moore's Law has been smaller and faster chips and their spread into a wide array of consumer products that now account for the bulk of the industry's $250 billion in annual sales.

The latest breakthrough means Intel, IBM (Charts) and others can proceed with technology roadmaps that call for the next generation of chips to be made with circuitry as small as 45 nanometers, about 1/2000th the width of a human hair.

Can I get one of those in my 2009 iPhonePowerbook please?
