Intel will begin production of its 45nm Penryn family of processors in the second half of this year. The processors, which will feature enhancements to the Intel Core microarchitecture, will take advantage of Hi-k process technology. The hafnium based high k and metal gate transistor design brings higher performance and more energy efficient operation.
