Thanks to Fudzilla, now we know that Ivy Bridge is the code name of the first processors Intel, which will be manufactured on 22 nm technological processes. However, while these are only preliminary information, but the Austrians say that Intel is working day and night to bring them to market in 2011, of course, if everything goes as planned.
As expected, this year Intel will release first 32 nm processors - Westmere. In fact, it is the same Nehalem, but they will be made on a fine production methods. But next year the processor giant will present at the court public another micro architecture - Sandy Bridge. If everything is in order, in 2011 the American company will transfer production of processors based on this architecture in 22 nm production methods. This is what is known under the code name Ivy Bridge. Then in 2012 we will likely see the new architecture, which is likely to have more cache, more cores, and will certainly be faster. But for the moment, as Fudzilla again stresses, one can say with certainty that the Ivy Bridge, a 22 nm Intel processors are already on the horizon.
But the most interesting is this is: what happens when Moore's Law (Moore's law) will cease to exist? If Intel is ahead of such strides, then soon it reaches 10 nm. And yet this is the limit for modern microelectronics. Perhaps, the processor giant already has a ready answer to this question?
