Intel Demos 35nm Chip

Just saw on CNN that Intel has demoed a memory chip made at 35nm. For those who don't track these things on a day-to-day basis, current state of the art is 90nm, the next generation process is 65nm, and my most recent chip was manufactured in 130nm.

So that means that for the same size chip, you could put 14 times as much stuff in a 35nm chip as in a 130nm. More to the point, it means computers will still keep getting cheaper for the next 5-6 years.
