What did I tell you a few months (or even years ago) and now it's finally true. 3D chips are a reality! ... in the form of Intel's 22nm Ivy Bridge processor. We've spoken to Intel and they've promised to set aside a sample for us, later this year. Expect samples to seed around late October/November. Can't wait to see the Ivy Bridge in action.

"Intel has unveiled its next generation of microprocessor technology, code named Ivy Bridge. The upcoming chips will be the first to use a 22 nanometre manufacturing process, which packs transistors more densely than the current 32nm system.

Intel said it would also be using new Tri-Gate "3D" transistors, which are less power hungry. Rival chip manufacturers including AMD and IBM are understood to be planning similar designs."
