During a keynote at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco, Intel announced it will ramp up performance and energy efficiency in its microprocessors by using a 32-nanometer process technology starting in 2009. Intel president and CEO Paul Otellini showed a 300mm wafer built using the 32-nm manufacturing technology which will house more than 1.9 billion transistors and Ottelini touted that its increased performance will enable "true to life entertainment and real-life graphics capabilities." Intel isn't the first to announce 32-nm chip technology: in May, a group of chipmakers (Freescale Semiconductor, Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing, Infineon Technologies, and Samsung Electronics) led by IBM agreed to further collaborate to jointly develop 32-nm semiconductor production technology.
Intel currently uses a 65-nm process to manufacture chips, but the company’s future processors built using the 45-nm include its Penryn processor, due in November, and Silverthorne and Nehalem processors, slated to appear early and in the second half of next year, respectively. In the first public demonstration of the Nehalem processor, Otellini said it will deliver better performance per watt and better system performance through its QuickPath Interconnect system architecture, which will include an integrated memory controller and improved communication links between system components. Otellini also announced a Penryn dual-core processor operating at 25 watts that will be available on the upcoming Montevina platform, which will also include WiMax technology. To meet multiple computing needs, Otellini said Intel also plans to introduce 15 new 45-nm processors by the end of the year and 20 in the first quarter of 2008.

25W dual core isn't that big or special, merom T7xxx's only have 34-35W TDP. Merom ULV's only have a 10-17W TDP. AMD on the other hand are still head of the game with lowest TDP with Sempron 9W TDP and others in their range compared to current competition both in desktop and server.

What is it with this 'Intel hate' - fanboys, the reason why I don't purchase AMD products because their approach to open source developers is "**** off, we don't give a crap about you". Themajority of us have decided to go Intel and nVidia as a result.
If AMD choose to align themselves with open source haters such as BroadCom and put out half-assed drivers such as their graphics cards, they've only got themselves for their declines in profits.

Intel is hated around here? You're insane sir.

Who the bloody hell suggested that? follow the conversation for goodness sake.
I am an AMD fanboy running Intel. In your face!

Same here. I've got one Core2 Duo (1.8GHz), one Pentium D (2.8GHz) one AMD Athlon XP 3000, one Pentium M Laptop (1.4 GHz) and an iMac (poopie G3). I need to upgrade.
hopefully by the time i build my next pc... amd will be back on top
cause it aint like intel needs the money.

I've never understood brand loyalty... go with whatever is the best...
After Montevina, Intel's next line will be called TARDIS.
Well this gives ASUS a chance to make a board like the Blitz extreme and Striker extreme, but better! They'd better put the street lights back in their next board :o The blitz is ugly. Oh oh and it should come with a cpu water block this time, cuz the blitz only came with water cooling for the chipset bridges. I can't wait!!!!
Since when have general CPU's ever outpaced a dedicated graphics card? Even intels fastest Quad Core would get trounced in graphical operations by whatever ATI/Nvidia has out at the moment. And they're still on 90nm.
