32 nanometer CPUs on the table @ Intel
I am planning on deploying a number of high power servers in the coming weeks, and have been doing some research on CPU efficiency (as in how much money the electric company charges you to run that quad core i7). More on that in another article, in the mean time, I found some interesting info on future 32nm chips from Intel here. Current quad core 45nm processors (Core2Duo quad) have around 800 million transistors inside, 32nm chips are already on the test bed with 1.9 billion transistors, which will mean a significant increase in computing power, and more importantly to me, lower power consumption. I couldn't care any less about how much your gigahertz, todays computers are blazingly fast, even if its the slowest model, but being able to run the same applications at an energy savings is quite enticing when you are a company with several dozen computers.
