Intel has already gained a comprehensive upper hand in its showdown with AMD, and now they are pulling out the big video guns to stimulate AMD. How is the 45nm Penryn processor made? Core45 (45nm core), Hi-K (high dielectric material), Metal Gate (metallic gate material), add a bit of hafnium and silicon wafers, and everything is done. Even Gordy Moore, a seven-year-old kid, knows how to do it, but AMD can't get it done, which is really ironic... Contains video.
