Intel showed work Saturday that could allow for 10 times as many connections between stacked tiles, meaning that more complex tiles can be stacked on top of one another.</p><p>But perhaps the biggest advance showed Saturday was a research paper demonstrating a way to stack transistors - tiny switches that form the most basic building blocks of chips by representing the 1s and 0s of digital logic - on top of one another.</p><p>Intel believes the technology will yield a 30 percent to 50 percent increase in the number of transistors it can pack into a given area on a chip. Raising the number of transistors is the main reason chips have consistently gotten faster over the past 50 years.</p><p>&quot;By stacking the devices directly on top of each other, we&#x27;re clearly saving area,&quot; Paul Fischer, director and senior principal engineer of Intel&#x27;s Components Research Group told Reuters in an interview. &quot;We&#x27;re reducing interconnect lengths and really saving energy, making this not only more cost efficient, but also better performing.&quot; </p><ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/business/03/24/21/intel-to-spend-20-billion-on-us-chip-plants-as-ceo-challenges-asia-dominance">Intel to spend $20 billion on US chip plants as CEO challenges Asia dominance</a></li>	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/business/04/26/21/computer-chip-shortage-may-leave-auto-sector-idling">Computer chip shortage may leave auto sector idling</a></li>	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/business/11/03/21/chip-shortage-to-last-through-2022-semiconductors-exec">Chip shortage to last through 2022, says Arm chief executive</a></li></ul><div><strong>RELATED VIDEO:</strong></div><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe allow="autoplay; fullscreen" frameBorder="0" height="100%" id="ivsplayer01" scrolling="no" src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/html/iframe-src.html?iframeid=ivsplayer01&amp;key=e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603&amp;spid=3001339&amp;vid=1460457" width="100%"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more in <a href="//www.iwantv.com.ph/">iWantv</a> or <a href="//tfc.tv/">TFC.tv</a></div>

Research teams at Intel Corp unveiled work that the company believes will help it keep speeding up and shrinking computing chips over the next ten years, with several technologies aimed at stacking parts of chips on top of each other.
