Looks as though AMD and HP both have the same innovative power. Both will be able to make circuits ten times more dense than currently.

HP's Good News.

Quote

Using molecules as building blocks, Hewlett-Packard researchers have created memory circuits 10 times more dense than today's silicon chips under a process that could be faster and cheaper than current technology.


AMD's Good News.

Quote

AMD today announced it has fabricated the smallest double-gate transistors reported to date using industry standard technology. These transistors, measuring ten nanometers, or ten billionths of a meter in length (gate), are six times smaller than the smallest transistors currently in production. AMD's research breakthrough could foster the placement of a billion transistors on the same size chip that currently holds 100 million transistors, enabling a vastly richer computing experience.
