Intel Demos Its New 'Backside' Power-Delivery Chip Tech

Next year Intel introduces a new transistor — RibbonFET — and a new way of powering it called "PowerVia."
This so-called "backside power" approach "aims to separate power and I/O wiring, shifting power lines to the back of the wafer," reports Tom's Hardware, which "eliminates any possible interference between the data and power wires and increases logic transistor density." IEEE Spectrum explains this approach "leaves more room for the data interconnects above the silicon," while "th
