Intel rolled out new computer chips Thursday that highlight the company’s lead over Advanced Micro Devices in its ability to shrink the circuitry inside its processors. Intel’s new Core chips, unveiled at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, are the company’s first to feature tiny parts whose average width is 32 nanometers, or 32 billionths of a meter. The transistors — little on/off switches that regulate the flow of electric current — are so small on those chips that 60 million could fit onto the head of the pin.
