AMD, which not too long ago was nipping at Intel's heals and threatening to take 30% X86 processor market share, is now once again playing catchup to Intel in the technology production stakes, having moved from 90nm to 65nm production less than a year ago. Intel's 45nm Penryn chips are expected to be more energy efficient - increasingly a requirement by industry - as well as faster and cheaper to produce. With Intel cranking them out by the tens of thousands each month Penryn, a Core 2 Duo chip, is expected to be widely available on server, desktop and notebook platforms by the end of the first quarter of 2008. Now that Intel is well and truly in the 45nm game, AMD is once again behind the eight-ball by about six months, having previously announced plans to commence shipping 45nm chips from its Dresden plant by the middle of 2008. Meanwhile Intel plans to move to 32nm microarchitecture by 2010 and 22nm by 2011.
