Future Trends in Power Management
UMB goal is to reach speeds of 280 Mbps where as WiMAX (802.16d) has a theoretical
maximum capacity of 70 Mbps.
8.2 Future Processes
Material science will do the heavy lifting required to meet the use-case demands of high
performance at low power consumption. From thin body to Fin-FETs, heterogeneous
materials including high-k metal gates, MEMS, nanoelectronics, quantum computing,
and genetic engineering.
8.2.1 Nanotechnology and Nanoelectronics
Nanotechnology involves the manipulation of materials at the nanometer or the atomic
scale to create structures that have novel properties ...
