found some info about Intel's 32nm process:
Intel’s 32nm logic technology provides ~70% linear feature size scaling and ~50% area scaling compared to our very successful 45nm technology
Transistor gate pitch is 112.5nm, the smallest of any reported 32nm technology
The improved density of our 32nm process allows for smaller chips and more transistors per chip
Intel continues to develop new technology generations on a 2 year cadence, realizing the benefits of Moore’s Law
32nm introduces Intel’s 2nd generation high-k + metal gate transistors
32nm transistor drive currents are ~14% higher than our 45nm process and are the highest reported in the industry
32nm transistor switching speed is improved >22% relative to our 45nm transistors
We believe our 32 nm transistors are more than one generation ahead of the rest of the industry
