strained silicon

[limqareb]

well i was seeing the news paper and there was an advert of toshiba of new strained silicon technology , can someone explain? i thouht all cpus are made of strained silicon

Hi limqareb :wavey:

Not all CPU's are made from strained silicon, the first strained silicon was used by IBM in 2001. When silicon is deposited on top of a substrate with atoms spaced farther apart, the atoms in silicon stretch to line up with the atoms beneath, stretching or "straining" the silicon. In the strained silicon, electrons experience less resistance and flow up to 70 percent faster, which can lead to chips that are up to 35 percent faster -- without having to shrink the size of transistors.

Below are some pics for ya

oh so that why they are faster thanks pv

You are most welcome mate

and would because they have less resistance = lower cpu temps correct?

 

[limqareb]

should be becuse it is the same theroy as in the element of a kettle large resistince a lot of heat

 

[bloodthirst]

i wonder if like AMD and intel will take this onboard make better CPU's

 

[limqareb]

amd mostly i think they produce more heat than anything else

Yes my young friend, that is correct

Dave + electronics of any sort = disaster.

just ask kempos about my fucky wiring i was explaining to him last night. he was in fits

[Dav0s]

seriously,u have posted the same thing 4 times, stop making me delete ur posts.

 

[limqareb]

delete them, i made a mistake once i did it from the mob i didnt know sry davo

 

[ionicle_old]

wow, i dont inderstand a word, but it looks very complicated lol!

haha go back to school then

Yeah that was bloody funny...gave me a good laugh that's for sure!!

Nice explanation PV....Would rep ya matie :worship: :worship: :worship: :wavey: :wavey:

I read about this a couple of months ago...IBM have used it for a while and Intel and AMD haven't srunk from lookin at it, that's for sure!!

well can i ask what part of the compy do ibm use it for, have they been using there own cpu's cause last i sore they where using intels
