A group of companies led by IBM have developed a new chip technology that they say may someday replace disk drives. The companies have built a prototype device that runs 500 times faster than today's flash memory.

IBM Corp., Sony Corp. and Toshiba Corp. will extend their joint work on the development of manufacturing technologies for advanced semiconductors, they said Thursday. The work will also cover fundamental research related to new chips, including materials research.

Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD) researchers on Tuesday revealed details of how their company plans to build processors using the next-generation 45-nanometer process technology that AMD hopes to have in production by as early as 2007.

Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD) has fabricated a standard complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) transistor with a gate length of 10 nanometers, six times smaller than the smallest CMOS transistors currently in production, the company announced in a statement Tuesday.
