The 14 nanometre process is used for the next generation of
computer chips following the 22 nanometre size. Intel had originally planned
for these to be released in late 2013, but due to production problems they
would be delayed until 2014.* Transistors are now reaching
extraordinarily small sizes, prompting fears that Moore's Law will come to an
end. However, this trend in
computing power will continue for some time to come, thanks to a new generation
of materials such as graphene.
