Intel: 32nm Development Complete Comments

Excellent news. I always go for the "tick" CPUs over the "tock" ones - by the time the die-shrink for the tick comes along the architecture has generally been through a few steppings and optimisations, you avoid the early adopter price of buying into a new architecture, software has had a chance to be developed which takes advantage of optimisations in the architecture over previous architectures so you really get to see the benefits, and you should get power and heat savings due to the smaller process. Win-win-win-win-win

smart choice.
nothing lasts in the present

Well put Amir, and a very Buddhist philosophy (impermanence that is)

Anyway, it doesn't seem that long ago we were looking forward to 45nm processors (is 42nm a mistake?) so it seems that nothing waits for technology.
