With the number of transistors on some chips exceeding 1bn, it is clear that improvements made for individual transistors can multiply into huge benefits for the entire device. Test chips made on Intel's ultra-low power 65nm process technology have shown transistor leakage reduction roughly 1,000 times from our standard processes. This translates into significant power savings for people who will use devices based on this technology.
