Intel unveils it's 3D stacked transistor technology, increasing density 10 fold

[Grim5]

Using RibbonFet technology on its 20a process node Intel believes it can achieve a 10 times increase in transistor density over current technology by stacking transistors.

It's early days, Intel is only planning to implement this technology into new CPUs between 2025 and 2027

In saying that. Going from 100w incandescent bulbs to sub 10w led bulbs there doesnt seem to be much difference in electric bill. If anything its gone up ??

uh huh

I don't know what size home you have so I'll use mine as an example. We've got 24 bulbs across the two floors, if i assume that on average half of these bulbs ran for 3 hours each day and they went from 100w to 10w then ((12 * (100-10) * 3) * 365) /1000 = 1182kWh saving over 1 year.

There is no way you wouldn't notice that if you were paying attention to your usage. You say your bill has gone up, it's probably because you're using some other device more than before or the price per unit has increased giving you then illusion that the bulb swap did nothing
