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

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