Linux Patent/Intel 45nm High-K Tech
It is not Linux, Linux is the kernel. A proprietary application, whether running on Linux or some other Operating System, could of course violate somebody’s patents. That has nothing at all to do with Linux.
Ah the old “Linux” means only the kernel argument. Really, the way that most people position Linux is that there is a Linux Kernel, and a Linux distribution. Linux can refer to either.
What is Microsoft? Microfibre Soft Toilet Tissue.
Kyocera Mita needs to license anything it probobly has something to do with Microsoft network file/printing sharing protocols, licensing fonts or Active Directory integration which has nothing to do with Linux. So what are these features and how will they equate into benefits to be consumer.
Touted as the “biggest advancement in fundamental transistor design in 40 years”, the new 45nm High-K process is what makes the new core possible. This technology allows for further CPU die shrinkage while reducing electrical leakage. This leakage is generally responsible for excess heat generation and power consumption, what is ultimately means for Intel processor is great transistor density, low transistor switch power, faster transistor switching speed, and overall better thermal and power efficiency. For the consumer, this will increase the speed of future processors, allow Intel to add new features, and lower cost due to a high density of chips per manufactured process wafer.
