Intel's new CEO praises the A7 chip

  Brian Krzanich is the company's new CEO Intel, and as part of the conference for the presentation of Intel's financial results he to talk and about the face A7 of those in Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),. When asked what he thinks about the new hardware, he praised the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), for the results obtained by using a 28nm manufacturing process for the production of the chip, but claims that the products manufactured by Intel are better. The company is currently switching to a 14nm manufacturing process for its chips, so we are talking about a much larger number of transistors that can be included in a chip.

All of our products are 64-bit. The products we're shipping today are already 64-bit. And if you take a look at things like transistor density. And if you compare, pardon the pun, apples to apples, and compare the A7 to our Bay Trail, which has a high-density 22-nanometer technology, then our transistor density is higher than the A7 is. The A7 is a good product, but we do see the Moore's Law advantage from 28 [nanometer] to 22, when you compare dense technology to dense technology. And we believe 14 nanometers is just another extension of Moore's Law. That is, twice the density [of 22-nanometers].

  However, without initially discussing the 14nm manufacturing process, Krzanich claims that current Intel chips produced using a 22nm manufacturing process have a transistor density that is higher than that found in the A7 chip. The current CEO claims that the density of transistors in chips doubles approximately every 2 years, and in the case of Apple we are talking about the same thing if we compare it with the A5 chip. Intel is, without question, the largest manufacturer of desktop/notebook chips and a comparison with Apple cannot be made from this point of view, but Apple seems interested in implementing A7 chips in Macs, so the future promises to be interesting.
