Intel Chips Throughout Intel’s history, new

and improved technologies have

transformed the human experience.
Decades of Intel chips, including the 22nm 3rd generation Intel® Core™ processor with its revolutionary 3-D Tri-Gate transistors, illustrate Intel’s unwavering
commitment to delivering technology and manufacturing leadership to the devices you use every day. As you advance through the chart, the benefits of
Moore’s Law, which states that the number of transistors roughly doubles every couple of years, are evident as Intel increases transistor density and innovates
the architecture designs that deliver more complex, powerful, and energy-efficient chips that transform the way we work, live, and play.
