Why Do Intel's 3-D Transistors Matter?

<p>May 04, 2011 05:49 PM

&#160;

as transistors get small, think of them less like a switch and more like a VALVE:

valves take time to close and they can be leaky;

&#160;

Leakage = heat = shortened battery life &#160;and reduced performance;

&#160;

&#160;
