Intel has revealed a brand new type of transistor, which uses a three-dimensional design to operate in a smaller space
and consume less power than existing designs.

The new transistors are called “Tri-Gate” units, in reference to their use of three conductive surfaces. The company
claims they offer an overall 50% power saving over current planar transistors, including greatly reduced power leakage
when in the off state. Alternatively, the new transistors can deliver 37% faster performance with the same power draw.
