Intel announced Sunday it has made two important leaps with its new server and high-end PC processors: They are the first to use Intel’s Hafnium-based high-k metal gate formula for the hundreds of millions of transistors inside the processors; plus, they are the first to be manufactured on the company’s 45-nanometer manufacturing process. The advancements come in a new line of 16 different processor configurations under the Intel Core 2 Extreme and Xeon brands, with availability dates ranging from immediately to late December, depending on the model.
