Intel have announced a new technology allowing them to reduce the size of their transistors by up to 30%. Industry analysts had been forecasting a major technological barrier for Intel in the not too distant future, but Intel’s announcement appears to smash straight through it.

Intel have apparently made “a fully functional 70 megabit memory chip with transistor switches measuring just 35 nanometers” - a 30% size reduction on existing devices. To put this into context, Intel’s line of desktop chips, like Pentium 4, are on a 90 to 180 nanometer base.
