Intel’s 32nm Atom Chip Will Be Ready By 2010

Also known as “Medfield”, Intel’s 32nm chip will be released in 2010. This is considerably smaller than the current 45nm chips and “will use the smaller transistor size to increase the level of on-die component integration, bring into the system-on-a-chip the I/O functionality currently relegated to the chipset in today’s netbooks.”

Even before the Medfield comes in in 2010, Intel is planning on releasing the “Pineview” which “is expected to be a full ‘System-on-a-chip’”, where all the functions of the PC – the memory controller, I/O, graphics chip, etc, are all on one chip.
