Motorola his researchers in its Semiconductor labs in Austin, Texas have built a new kind of transistor that can be made with existing manufacturing processes. It could provide a major boost to make smaller and more powerful chips they claim. They call it the MIGFET (Multiple Independent Gate Field Effect Transistor) because this new transistor allows multiple independent gates. It is engineered to pack more computing power into less space, and to reduce power consumption. More information about their MIGFET can be found at DVHardware.
