IBM 18% faster, uses 45% less power in 32nm
For example, when a 45-nm process chip operating at 1.1 volts is scaled to the 32-nm process with high-k metal gate technology it will have a 24 percent increase in speed and a 40 percent reduction in power consumption, said Mukesh Khare, senior manager at IBM's microelectronics division. If the voltage is dropped to 0.95 volts, the chip has an 18 percent increase in speed and a 45 percent reduction in power consumption.
