Real World Tech just published a great new article on the upcoming process technologies from several companies including Intel, TSMC and Fujitsu. It is based on presentations given at IEDM 2007 in December, and also includes a very noteworthy comparison table with processes from days past.

The intel PMOS numbers are :O

TSMC ftw

If I'm reading the chart right, it seems Microsoft made a good decision on switching Xenos production to them - cheaper, but approximately same performance (if a bit higher currents). Now... if only they'd actually get to 45nm chips in the console...

Farhan: Indeed they are. BTW, there's a very good (but technical!) follow-up on Intel's process in an article named "Under the Hood: 45 nm: What Intel didn't tell you".
