Intel is aiming to use its vertical FINFET transistors technology in processors by the end of the year. It has demonstrated its Ivy Bridge processor using 22nm process technology running and says these will ship by the end of the year.
The FINFET technology, first revealed in 2002, is a vertical rather than traditional planar transistor structure which Intel
