| Intel Unveils Line Of More Energy-Efficient Chips Intel (INTC) said it also eliminated lead from its new microprocessors and expects to make them halogen-free by next year. A key feature of the new Intel chips is the use of a hafnium, a silvery element commonly used to control rods in nuclear reactors, to reduce the amount of electrical power leakage, making the chips 30% more energy efficient. Intel began developing 45 nanometer chips at its fab in Oregon. Two weeks ago, Intel opened a $3 billion semiconductor manufacturing facility based on this new technology in Chandler, Ariz. It plans to adopt the new technology at Intel fabs in New Mexico and Israel, the company said. http://money.cnn.com/news/newsfeeds/...LINE000487.htm

| I know it is old news despite it came out minutes ago. What it does not say is that 45nm chip will reduce cost as much as 30% .... now do we get 30% off on Penryn, or buy the stock instead.
