Intel on Wednesday laid out its road map for the next year or so, including details about Penryn, its 45nm chip due later this year, as well as the next generation beyond that. The company will begin producing its Penryn chip in the second half of this year, officials said, featuring enhancements to the Intel Core microarchitecture as well as 45nm process technology with a hafnium-based high-K, metal gate transistor design, which offers better insulation and results in higher performance and more energy efficiency.
