Intel debuts hafnium-based computer chip

NewsHour (audio): Intel's new computer chip, due out later this year, uses hafnium rather than silicon in its transistors. This innovation will double the number of transistors that can fit on a chip, Intel says, leading to faster and more powerful computers. Meanwhile, other companies such as IBM have their own chip innovations in the works.
