AMD, IBM and Sony Boost Chip Speed - Dec 13, 2004 19:35

AMD and IBM announced today that they have developed a new and unique strained silicon transistor technology aimed at improving processor performance and power efficiency. The process results in up to a 24% transistor speed increase, at the same power levels, compared to similar transistors produced without the technology.

I like to see AMD coming up with stuff before intel. I' ve always been a fan of the underdog, and have had AMD chipsets for 5 years now. This is excellent news.

Oops, sorry, my bad.

Anyway, it would appear that most processor giants are uniting against Intel. Dunno, I could be jumping the gun here.
