Up to 50% increase in transistor density! Intel's new research wants to accelerate chip scaling

"Recently, the Intel research team announced the latest research paper, demonstrating a method of stacking transistors, which can increase the number of transistors on a chip per unit area by 30%-50%. The company said it will continue to accelerate the speed of chip scaling in the next ten years.

According to Reuters, Intel is striving to regain the leading position in producing the smallest and fastest chips. Although CEO Kissinger has formulated a plan to regain the leading position in 2025, the company’s research team held a meeting in San Francisco. The progress of the work announced at the international conference has given people a glimpse of Intel’s competitive plan after 2025.

It is reported that one of Intel's methods to integrate more computing power into chips is to add chip stacks or chiplets in a three-dimensional space. In addition to increasing transistor density, another technology demonstrated by the research team can increase the number of connections between stacked chips by a factor of 10, which means that more complex chips can be stacked together.

Paul Fischer, head of Intel’s component research department and senior principal engineer, said in an interview with Reuters: “By stacking the chips directly together, we have significantly saved area.” “We are shortening the interconnection length and really saving energy, which not only improves Cost efficiency and improved performance."""
