Pushing the number of transistors it can cram onto silicon, chip giant Intel announced a step forward in its advance to the 65-nanometer manufacturing process, a move toward further miniaturization to boost chip efficiency and performance. In a sign it is on course to begin manufacturing computer chips with the new process — and maintain the Moore’s Law paradigm of doubling the number of transistors on a chip roughly every two years — Intel said it had built functional SRAM chips with more than half a billion transistors using the new process.
