Intel 32nm Westmere desktop motherboard. I'm not sure what the name is on this one.

Francois Piednoel the mad scientist of Intel was on hand and I was going to put a 'even a caveman can do 32nm' joke here, but he shaved since I saw him last month and no longer looks like the guys from the Geico commercials.

so, what, 1000nm+, 800nm, 600nm, 350nm, 250nm, 180nm, 130nm, 90nm, 65nm, 55nm(GPUs but owell) 45nm, 32nm doesnt fit in real well, where did the number come from? or is it solely to be a power of two for a change

[martini161]

this number came from the size of the transistors >_>

[skier]

well yeah, but why did they choose to make them 32nm

well yeah, but why did they choose to make them 32nm

cause thats the smallest they can make?

Hm, just 65 watts while running Cinebench is pretty impressive! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbV5cUKX6Hs

Who gave the woodchuck a processor?
Cool looking piece of tech IMHO though, weird-looking VP aside

Ya, seriously...they should have given him a razor to trim those eyebrows.

[skier]

you can probably think of it this way: he's a millionaire(or billionaire) so he can look like whatever he wants!

I can't wait til I'm older so I can grow out some bushy eyebrows like that.
