That roadmap is insane! 5 nm is about 50 atoms! There's got be a paradigm shift soon - anyone know how quantum tunneling is prevented?
Silicon atoms, yes.That roadmap is insane! 5 nm is about 50 atoms!
I think they use the effect soon:There's got be a paradigm shift soon - anyone know how quantum tunneling is prevented?
what is the expected battery life for next mbp?
500 hours
Very interesting indeed. I wonder how much smaller chips can get before they hit the pinnacle.
They're already stamping out designs at 10nm and 7nm. They medium material will evolve but we will most certainly see the picometer phase.

Haswell won't bring hardly any tangible improvements to the Mac Mini line. Performance is only slightly better, and thermals are the same or slightly worse.
The big advantages to Haswell are mobile power consumption and the addition of new features to the chipset (ie native USB 3.0, more onboard SATA ports). None of this really affects the Mac Mini, as it doesn't run on battery power, already has USB 3.0, and doesn't have space for any additional SATA ports.
I'm waiting for the Retina LED 'Cannonlake' iMac![]()
When one talks about 17nm, 10nm, etc. manufacturing, is there a difference between Intel and, sa,y Samsung? (Are all 17nm based chips pretty much the same or does Intel have anything special advantage over Samsung)?
You might be kidding but i wouldn't be surprised. Strange things happen at apple behind closed doors.
Based on Intel's prospective timeline with production beginning during the first quarter of 2014, Broadwell MacBooks could make an appearance at next year's Worldwide Developers Conference, which is where the Haswell MacBook Airs debuted.

Well then, looks like I will be upgrading my mid-2012 rMBP to a new one with Haswell now that Broadwell is delayed.
why changing a year old computer? this freaks me out – please consider environment.
What ????????????? Go hug a tree, you'll feel better.
