Researchers at Advanced Micro Design released details on new high-performance transistors that will be used as a building block for future microprocessor designs.
Using a combination of two new technologies, metal gates (made from Nickel Silicide) and fully-depleted silicon-on-insulators (FDSOI), researcher were able to demonstrate up to a 30% performance gain over today's transistors.
