Intel claims that they are fabricating new chips that will put them two years ahead of the competition. How? Because they are getting rid of "Silicon Dioxide dielectrics." Robert Scoble knows that regular people have no idea what that means. That's why he's created a video (below) that gives you a sneak peek into Intel's new 45 nanometer chips which use High-K dialectrics. The net-net? These new processors generate less heat, take less power, and have more transistors than previous chips...bringing you 20 percent more performance.

Take a tour of the new fab:
