Intel 'on track' to debut 45nm CPUs in Q2 07
 

Intel has become the first company to produce a working chip fabricated at 45nm, the chip giant claimed today. The part is a 153Mb SRAM memory chip containing more than 1bn transistors and measuring 119mm². And it's fully functional - sufficient, the company says, to show it's on schedule to ship 45nm processors toward H2 2007, though it admitted that timeframe remains an "estimate" of when products will become available
