 | | Power consumption, and the related problem of dissipation, were central to Intel's development of its 65-nanometer manufacturing technology. |
 | | A nanometer is one billionth of a meter, and the specific number attached to a generation refers to the average size of features on the chip. |
 | | Transistors have now gotten so small at the 90-nanometer generation--currently used to build Intel's most advanced chips--that the electrical power used to run the transistors can leak out of the chip as heat. |
