Intel dropped the ball on this one. Of course (!) they are trying to reduce power while increasing speed, they didnt succeed too well on the new P4 tho! The move to 90nM should have solved most issues for them, it just didnt happen as they hoped. Not just Intel are looking to improve speed and reduce heat/power, AMD and just about every other chip mfr on the planet are too. If Intel 'didnt' try and do this it would be bad. I think the other people are making comments on Intel stuff quite wisely whilst not diminishing other people in the community. Regarding Intel researching new technologies to have less leakage, less power consumption etc etc, you can bet they are researching just about every avenue. There are quite a few coatings under test worldwide to increase local magnetic fields and prevent interference with neighboring magnetic 'cells'. Its good to research before claiming ideas for your own. A better understanding of the processes involved in electron flow and electromagentic properties of the environment the electrons are in will be more helpful. Leakage is caused by a number of things: Actual unwanted electron flow through substrate etc, capacitance, Inductance to name a few of the reasons. Does your 'idea' take account of these? No doubt different structures will be used to make transistors etc too. In fact theres so much development in so many areas, ie carbon nanotubes, quantum memory, the mind boggles! The comments made by the 'stupid' people are pretty relevant. I can only hope I am reading different comments to you as it looks like the shoe is on the other foot! Sorry MagamiAKO, but you slate other people easily but your S"1T smells worse.
