Intel has come up with a new weapon in its attempt to regain the edge in advanced chipmaking lost to Asian rivals: change the way it names its most advanced technology.
The US chipmaker said on Monday that it would no longer refer to its latest generation of manufacturing technology based on the size of the transistors on its semiconductors.
