In this video podcast, we travel to Austin, Texas and the SxSW Interactive festival, to focus on what s inside people s computers, and just how much they re relying on those computers for work, communication and - all-important at the SxSW Festival creativity. Intel s Bryan Rhoads took the opportunity to blog from the conference using a MID. He used the mobile Internet device to bring his blog readers along with him to breakfast, and to snap a picture of two of Intel s tiniest products - the Atom processor and the silicon core of an Intel Core 2 Duo. We showed those tiny products to attendees at SxSWi, and found out how some creative folks are interacting with their computers (and what s inside).

Intel's smallest processor to date, built with it's tiny 45nm transistors for a new wave of small, mobile Internet devices. The chip gets the name Intel Atom. There's also Intel Centrino Atom, a combination of chip technologies for low cost, low power and high performing devices designed to bring better Internet experiences to wireless compute devices. Intel's Brian Fravel helped to announce Atom's brand name on Sunday, followed by Bob Duffy and others. Outside of Intel, conversation continues. Most blog mentions highlight the tiny processor's likeley impact on mobile internet devices. As Joel Hruska writes at Ars Technica, "The Atom architecture is intended to give Intel a foothold in handheld devices that have traditionally been the sole domain of very low-power RISC processors." Noting that no Atom-enabled products have yet been announced, Yahoo! Tech's Christopher Null predicts that "you should definitely expect some in the next few months."

High-performance computing presents unique challenges in performance, energy efficiency and parallel processing, and Intel has just unveiled a unique solution. The Intel Xeon processors and platforms use an entirely new transistor formula based on the second generation of the Intel Core microarchitecture. Intel's new high-performance computing (HPC) platform is made possible by technological advancements in the new quad-core Intel Xeon processor 5400 series or dual-core Intel Xeon processor 5200 series, and Intel 5400 chipset. Intel Co-Founder Gordon Moore calls the processors which use Intel's Hafnium-based High-k metal gate transistor formula and will be manufactured on the company's 45-nanometer process, the biggest transistor advancement in 40 years. The new Xeon family continues Intel's leadership in delivering faster, more energy-efficient processors, with a 38 percent improvement in performance per watt over its predecessor.

Gordon Moore's Law will remain in effect for the foreseeable future. Intel Corporation's new 45nm Penryn microprocessor relies on a new recipe that combines the element Hafnium and metal gate technology to increase performance and significantly reduce eco-unfriendly, wasteful electricity leaks. The challenge for Intel to create a "new generation" of technology every two years -- a challenge laid out by Co-Founder Gordon Moore in the 1960s -- faces very real physical limitations. In fact, Moore himself has predicted the end of the rhythmic advances (more than once, too). In recognition of the 45nm technology but also for the innovation that will allow Intel to continue doubling, and doubling and doubling every two years, Penryn has already joined Apple's iPhone and other game-changing gadgets as a member of the elite group of Time Magazine's Best Inventions of the Year. In his Sept., 2007 article in the New York Times, G. Pascal Zachary noted that the hafnium-and-gate innovations are at the heart of Intel's ability to deliver increasingly speedy chips that won't, for example, explode into flames. Zachary's article shines the spotlight on Hafnium and Mark T. Bohr, the Intel physicist who oversaw its introduction into the process, since consumers will mostly be treated to the what-does-it-mean-to-me messaging that accompanies new technology -- not the where-did-it-come-from messaging that actually explains the developments. While consumers might not hear much about the element that replaces silicon oxide as the insulator in their new chips, they'll soon have a clear idea of how they'll benefit from using them. While it may be a closely-guarded secret where Intel's new Penryn chips will end up, HP and Lenovo announcements indicate that pick-up in the industry will be swift. (As always, Mac rumors abound, too.) Trumpeting energy savings and higher speeds for intensive projects like video encoding and multithreaded gaming, the new chips will soon re-set the industry standard, and of course the industry will be powering on behind the scenes. Intel is already deep into development on its next generation 22nm microprocessors, and if the speed of that effort is any indication, the technology behind computing is developing at a faster clip than in previous years (Intel says it may already be several months ahead of schedule when compared with earlier generations). Intel's new eco-friendly facility in Chandler, Ariz. was built specifically for the new 45nm production. Construction on Fab 32 began in August 2005, and you can observe pretty much the whole process in this video.

This video was commissioned by Intel. Intel announced that it will begin making 45 nanometer chips, code-named Penryn, in the second half of the year. The new microprocessors are the culmination of years of R D using new materials to improve the efficiency and performance of silicon-based semiconductors. The company says the new chip technology maintains Moore s Law, the observation made by Intel co-founder Gordon Moore in the late 1960s that the number of transistors doubles on chips every two years. Intel scientists say that transistors are now so small that more than 300 can fit on a human red blood cell. In a recent earnings announcement, Intel officials said they expect to rebuild a lead in the computer chip market through innovation and manufacturing efficiency. Intel s current line of microprocessors includes the Core2Duo, Core2Extreme, and Core2Quad. In this video podcast, PodTech s Jason Lopez visits Intel s Hillsboro, Oregon research facility and fab.

The first transistors built on silicon in the 1960’s were relatively large compared to those of today. But in the last few years, scientists have sensed The End of Moore’s Law as the quest to double a number of transistors on a chip every two years has pushed the limits of physics. This test wafer is used to measure the reliability of billions of H transistor and interconnect features, the blue prints for making microprocessors. For nearly 40 years, transistors have been made from a polysilicon gate and silicon gate oxide, the materials used to create the switch inside that turns it on and off. But with 65 nanometer technology currently in production, those materials have been pushed to their physical limits. To go smaller at 45 nanometers scientists said Intel chose new materials a Metal gate and High-K gate oxide based on the element hafnium. These materials have enabled yet again the doubling of the density of transistors within a two-year timeframe. Intel code names its new family of 45 nanometer chips ‘Penryn’ which deliver a significant improvement in power efficiency and performance. Speaker This is a really tremendous accomplishment to get all the way down to 45 nanometer dimensions. When I joined Intel five micron dimensions were common. 45 nanometers is more than a 100 times smaller than that. So, quite remarkable. Kelin Kuhn - Intel If you think about it, if you look at the Intel 45 nanometer device technology, we can fit 400 transistors on something about the size of the human blood cell. Speaker So, it allows us to continue scaling and maintain this Moore’s Law type of evolutionary built up we’ve seen. Speaker Well, developing smaller transistors or technologies with smaller feature size is very key, because it allows you to pack more transistors on a chip which means you can do more things with that chip, that also means that these transistors when they’re smaller can use less energy when you switch them on and off. So, you have better power efficiency, you can get certain computational functions done using less energy, less power. Jason Lopez - PodTech Intel’s drive to adhere to Moore’s Law is as much an economic decision as it is a scientific one. It’s one thing to make the Metal gate and High-K gate oxide technologies work. It’s another to make 45 nanometer chips enlarged volumes to satisfy the market. Intel’s lead in the chip industry is based on its ability to deliver cheaper and faster microprocessors. Speaker Well, one of the key things that Intel does very well is what’s called Design for Manufacturability and the key there is to make sure that the product design and the process manufacturing technology are able to work together and produce high yielding, high quality products and because we’re an integrated device manufacturer, we do the design in-house, we do the process development in-house, we’re able to do a really good job at Design for Manufacturability up front and produce these chips in high volume. Jason Lopez - PodTech Metal gate and High-K gate oxide only atoms thick are more electrically efficient helping to reduce heat and power lost from leakage and improving transistor performance by 20%. The idea to use new materials has been around for more than a decade, but the technologies to deploy them were developed by hundreds of engineers over the past few years. Kelin Kuhn - Intel Okay so, if you think about how we build gate oxides, historically, we’ve used very simple silicon dioxide materials basically glass, and as we’ve developed our technology expertise over the years we started doing very elegant things to this glass to make ever better oxides basically the gate of the transistor. When we introduced the Intel 45 nanometer process we moved a hafnium-based material as a radically different way of resolving our gate leakage issues and so it’s a very novel material system that’s intrinsic to the type of leakage improvements we see. Chip design was simple once and we don’t do that anymore. It’s complicated now because we already did the simple stuff that’s my humorous answer, but I think in today’s world if you look at a modern microprocessor. We’re talking hundreds of millions of transistors and it’s incomprehensible that humans can build this to be honest. Every time we have a success in the fab. I sit back and look at this and we’re looking at devices that are one-tenth the wavelength of light. Little tinnie winnie devices and humans can build these very complicated things and if you think about it, a yielding dye in our process technology means every single transistor worked. Every single one of those 100 million transistors worked and that’s when we sell them. Can you believe it? Humans can actually make something where every single one of a hundred million plus devices worked, it’s remarkable, and we don’t do it as individuals, we do it as an international team. Speaker We had the fly of the wafers to Arizona, get them assembled and then fly them back to Folsom, California in order to actually test them. Jason Lopez - PodTech So, what was the feeling of the team when you booted up that first OS? Speaker I would say one word it was ‘Euphoria’. The team was just tremendously excited. When you considered a number of people involved in the two–and-a-half years that culminated in this boolean of major Operating System with Penryn, it was an awesome feeling. Jason Lopez - PodTech Is that simply because it worked or is it because a number of things work? Speaker Yeah, it really represents the fact that a number of things worked. Coming out of reset is not so monumentous as say (Inaudible) up to boot Windows XP, or Windows Vista or Linux because there is a lot of functionality that has to be working to reach that level of capability. So, the team was obviously excited for that. All this happened around. I believe we booted around 3:30 in the morning and there was just a lot of adrenalin in the lab at that time and this is a lot of excitement. Jason Lopez - PodTech It’s like a moon shot only you didn’t have the big screen looking. Speaker Yeah, you could say that. Maybe on a smaller scale, but yeah, that’s equivalent to us on the engineering team as our moon shot. Copyright 2006 PodTech.net. All rights reserved.
