AMD on Tuesday announced its transition from 90 nanometer to 65 nm process technology. The Athlon 64 X2 dual-core desktop processor is the first product to roll out under the new process. AMD’s announcement comes months after Intel launched its 65 nm initiatives and is another step toward creating ever smaller transistors. The move to 65 nm process technology enables AMD to produce more processors on a 300 mm wafer — for increased production capacity — while continuing to aggressively scale performance and reduce power consumption.
