Intel will begin churning out the Tri-Gate silicon in its upcoming "Ivy Bridge" processors, the 22nm shrink of the current generation 32nm Sandy Bridge processors. Intel maintains the 3D transistor technology will only add 2 to 3 percent to the cost of manufacturing the wafers, so system costs should take only a minor hit.
