Reuters: Moore’s Law seen extended in chip breakthrough.

I’ll add more as I find more links. Oh, there already is a bunch over on Google News. Speaking of Google, did you notice they switched back to Intel chips? I bet it had a LOT to do with Penryn, because they use less power. If you’re Google one of your biggest costs is power in a data center. Remember, you shove hundreds of thousands of computers in a building and you start having real power issues.

One funny story? I couldn’t get into the fab. Why? My camera is too “dirty.” It would have destroyed thousands of chips. The fab is one of the cleanest rooms in the world.
