Intel's CEO participated in a reddit hosted live chat today. The full session is at http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1ycs5l/hi_reddit_im_brian_krzanich_ceo_of_intel_ask_me/
He's interested in III-V materials as can be seen below, but he still denies Moore's Law is ending any time soon:
Q: People have been talking about the death of moores law for decades, what is the plan for when that upper limit with silicon is hit?
in my 30 years i think i have seen the forecasted end of Moore's law at least 5 or 6 times... so i tend to be a skeptic when people say it will end.. At any one point we can typically see about 10 years out.. with pretty good clarity in the 3 to 5 years and much less clarity 5 to 10 years.. but so far in that 10 year horizon.. we don't see anything that says it will end in that time frame..
Q:
How does the development of graphene change the game for Intel?
Graphine, carbon nano tubes.. an other 3-5 materials will become very important to semiconductors over the next few years... they will allow us to lower leakage and power while reducing geometries..
