Microchip passes two billion transistor milestone
The first chip to pack more than two billion transistors has been launched by silicon giant Intel.
The quad-core chip, known as Tukwila, is designed for high-end servers rather than personal computers.
It operates at speeds of up to 2GHz, the equivalent of a standard PC chip.

Actually, Tukwila is a shitty suburb of Seattle.
