Intel plans to use novel materials and manufacturing processes in order to continue to develop smaller and faster computer chips once current technologies no longer do the trick. The leading chipmaker, which has been stung recently by some near-term product retreats and operational hiccups, laid out its research and development priorities for the next two decades. Intel told analysts and reporters that it would look to nanotechnology to drive the development of substantially smaller chips in the future.
