But like all good electronics, It will get smaller, but stuff will generally stay the same size, but always have the avalablity of being smaller, like pocket drives shaped like cheese-it, or stay the same size, just pack more smaller chips and gain more memory. I tell ya, they just keep gettin smaller and smaller, as my dad always says when i buy a new processor that was over twice as fast as the one he had 9 years ago.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bobs]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 13th 2007 5:17AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Toshiba's 15-nm process hints at 100Gbit NAND chips: 6x current densities]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/toshibas-15-nm-process-hints-at-100gbit-nand-chips-6x-current/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/toshibas-15-nm-process-hints-at-100gbit-nand-chips-6x-current/</guid><description><![CDATA[Research run-on sentence, STAT!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[anon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 13th 2007 5:28AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Toshiba's 15-nm process hints at 100Gbit NAND chips: 6x current densities]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/toshibas-15-nm-process-hints-at-100gbit-nand-chips-6x-current/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/toshibas-15-nm-process-hints-at-100gbit-nand-chips-6x-current/</guid><description><![CDATA[I wonder what kind of computer you father bought now, or what he did have back then, when it is just twice as fast.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Geir E]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 13th 2007 7:40AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Toshiba's 15-nm process hints at 100Gbit NAND chips: 6x current densities]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/toshibas-15-nm-process-hints-at-100gbit-nand-chips-6x-current/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/toshibas-15-nm-process-hints-at-100gbit-nand-chips-6x-current/</guid><description><![CDATA[ "Here at Rockwell Automation Headquarters ... work has has been proceeding in order to bring prefection to the crudely conceived idea of a machine that would work to not only supply inverse reactive current, for use in unilateral phase detectors, but would also be capable of automatically synchronising cardinal grammeters. Such a machine is ... the 'Retroencabulator'. Basically, the only new principle involved is that instead of the power being generated by the relaxive motion of conductors and fluxes, it is produced by the modial interactions of magneto- reluctance and capacitive directance. The original machine had a base-plate of prefabulated amulite, surrounded by a malleable logarithmic casing in such a way that the two spurving bearings were in direct line with the pentametric fan, the latter consisted simply of six hydrocoptic marzelvanes, so fitted to the ambifacient lunar vaneshaft that side fumbling was effectively prevented. The main winding was of the normal lotus- o-delta type placed in panendermic semiboloid slots in the stator, every seventh conductor being connected by a non-reversible termic pipe to the differential girdlespring on the 'up' end of the grammeter. In addition, whenever a barescent skor motion is required, it may be employed in conjunction with a drawn reciprocating dingle arm to reduce sinusoidal depleneration. Undoubtedly, the Retroencabulator has now reached a very high level of technical development. It has been successfully used for operating nofer trunnions. It is available soon wherever Rockwell Automation products are sold."]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[chris fredette]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 13th 2007 11:11AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Toshiba's 15-nm process hints at 100Gbit NAND chips: 6x current densities]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/toshibas-15-nm-process-hints-at-100gbit-nand-chips-6x-current/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/toshibas-15-nm-process-hints-at-100gbit-nand-chips-6x-current/</guid><description><![CDATA[Does anyone else think that looks like a ...

The atomic radius of silicon is about 117pm, so that means a 15nm transistor is only about 128 ATOMS wide. Thats really quite insane.
