#2Aw, someone at the Economist is a sci-fi nerd: all the subheds in the story are titles of Isaac Asimov stories (or spoofs of said titles).

#3Technology reporting at the Economist can be hit-or-miss, but this was a surprisingly informative read.

#4>Using a three-dimensional chip design Intel plans to shrink that even further over the next couple of years, to 22nm and then 14nm, and sell chips that beat the competition on both energy-efficiency and performance.
/facepalm.
The rest is pretty good, though, I think.

What is wrong with that statement? Intel is using a new 3D Tri-Gate Transitor tech for 22nm & have plans for 14nm in the future.

MIT sucks and is for losers. Go to Stanford.

What's wrong? I can't see anything except extra dash in "energy efficiency"

Pretty much everyone outside Intel thinks FinFETs should not be called 3D, since 3D was already used to refer to die stacking.

Not to mention that chips are already 3D with multiple metal layers.

#10This was pretty solid overview of the ongoing semiconductor wars. It should be interesting to see what kind of impact Windows 8 running on ARM will have for this industry.
