Intel Expects to Cut CPU Power Consumption 10-fold

Intel research Labs unveiled a new transistor with a high potential for future CPU, as it requires only 10% of the power currently used to make them working. To reach such limit, scientists have been using new materials while combining both N-channel (current is produced by the move of a electronic gap) and P-channel (the current is produced by an electron) transistors. This is of course just the beginning of those new technologies, and for sure it holds quite a lot of promises, however, one will have to wait for couple of years to see them applied in our computers, and when applied in mass production, figures have a tendency to dramatically decrease. Nevertheless, it for sure would help Intel to preserve Moore's law for the coming years.
