Voltage and power reductions in our products come from a broad engagement between process, design and architecture. For our latest 45nm products, the careful design of the SRAM cell and our invention of high-k metal gate transistors were key contributors to reducing minimum voltages. Previously, I wrote about the Climate Savers Computing Initiative and our research to achieve efficiency gains at the platform level.
Beyond energy efficient design lays the notion of powering our processors and chipsets over a much wider range of voltages. Let me share with you some important research we have underway that may lead to dramatic improvements in the dynamic operating range of our products.

Now that the dust has settled from the 6th Annual Research At Intel Day press event, I am still amazed at the breadth and variety of research projects that were on display. Researchers from Israel, China, Russia and the US brought their ideas to the Computer History Museum on June 11. The contrast between the historic computing artifacts and the possible future of technology was really inspiring.
