Intel has just announced its new line of processors, called Ivy Bridge,
which uses a new type of transistor to reach the 22nm production process
as well as maintain Moore's Law. They call it the 3D transistor, and in
all honesty, this stuff goes way over my head. Even the incredibly
cheesy n00b-video from Intel doesn't really make any lightbulbs appear
in my head. So...
Intel
不久前推出了其新的处理器系列——Ivy
Bridge（译名艾薇桥）。它使用一种新型的晶体管，延续了摩尔定律的神话的同时达到了22nm生产进程。他们叫它3D晶体管；老实说，这东西远超出我
能理解的范围。就连Intel那个极度炫目的n00b-video在我头脑里都没有过多的思考，可以想象……
...that makes this kind of hard to talk about, even though it's kind of a
big deal. Intel claims that the new type of transistor will lead to
serious reductions in power consumption, while delivering more power. It
allows Intel to extend Moore's Law, despite doubts over whether the
industry would be able to or not. These things have been in development
for nearly a decade.
Intel表示，此新型晶体管将带来能耗的极度降低，而却有着更强大的功能。尽管曾有的关于这个产业能否继续摩尔定律的怀疑重重，然而Intel就此再次延伸了摩尔定律。要知道，半导体在摩尔定律之下已经发展了近十年。
"The performance gains and power savings of Intel's unique 3-D Tri-Gate
transistors are like nothing we've seen before," said Mark Bohr, Intel
Senior Fellow, "This milestone is going further than simply keeping up
with Moore's Law. The low-voltage and low-power benefits far exceed what
we typically see from one process generation to the next. It will give
product designers the flexibility to make current devices smarter and
wholly new ones possible. We believe this breakthrough will extend
Intel's lead even further over the rest of the semiconductor industry."
“Intel独有的3-D Tri-Gate晶体管的性能提升和能耗下降之大是我们闻所未闻见所未见的，” Intel资深院士Mark
Bohr如是说，“这一个里程碑比仅仅只是跟住摩尔定律走得还要远。本次低电压低功耗的所带来的效益远远超出了我们一贯所见的处理器的更新换代。它将给产
品设计者以使当前设备更加智能甚至开发全新设备的灵活性。我们相信，此次突破必将把Intel在半导体工业后期的领头地位延伸得更加宽广。
And, here is the cheesy video.
这儿，便是有关该新型处理器的一部壮观的视频。（Youtube）
Intel is plans to ship the new type of transistor in the second half of
this year, and they will be deployed across the entire spectrum of Intel
processors - so not just in the top range.
Intel计划于今年下半年上线此新型晶体管；它们将被部署在Intel处理器全系列上——而非单单只是高端系列上。
