Intel, Toshiba, Samsung To Form Chip Alliance 57
Lucas123 writes "According to a report from a Japanese news agency, semi-conductor leaders Intel, Samsung and Toshiba are forming a development alliance to halve the size of chip circuitry in order to create more dense NAND flash chips and more powerful processors. The vendors would not confirm the news report, but the Nikkei Daily said they hope to reduce lithography technology from the 20 nanometer size used today to something below 10nm. The news agency also said Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry may fund up to half the project's cost, or roughly $61 million."

Their considerable success in that project bodes well for this new effort.

Then, what can we call the alliance between Samsung, Hitachi, Intel, and Toshiba? I'm sure someone out there can come up with a creative acronym.
I'll start. How about "THIS"?

Intel is starting to feel the heat from ARM.
Wait, I thought heat comes from Intel, not from ARM.
