Infineon claims that the new, CMOS chips, developed jointly with IBM, Chartered, Infineon and Samsung, "functioned perfectly right from the start, as complicated testing in Duisburg, Munich and Bangalore, India has now shown". The new chips, the most advanced that Infineon is presently preparing for the market, pack more than 30 million transistors in an unit about 6 millimetres by 6 millimetres. Qualcomm announced its first 65nm cellphone chips, the MSM6245, last October to ship in sample quantities in the current quarter. Qualcomm said it would help drive the adoption of WCDMA and 3G technologies - bringing wireless users new wireless capabilities from improved voice quality to cost-effective music downloads.
