Alternative methods of radically increasing the performance of CPUs, such as spintronics, wouldn't find their way into production for at least another 10 years, Intel said this week in Taiwan.
Fundamental changes in basic technology don't come along often, but spintronics may be the hottest thing since sliced silicon.
Just as a falling apple spurred Isaac Newton's discovery of gravity, toppling dominoes have inspired researchers to build the world's smallest computer circuits.
Canadian scientists say they have invented a spintronic transistor, which uses the spin of electrons to store information. It could mark an important step in quantum computing.
