At the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco, the chipmaker showed off its latest technology.
It's IDF, so of course there must be a wafer shot. This is Sandy Bridge, the company's new flagship mainstream 32nm x86 processor, most notable for integrated graphics and the promise of high performance.
