I believe that keeping up with Moore's Law basically requires that more and more transistors be put on the chip - and I do not know that changing from silicon to this new metal is really going to help them do much more minaturation.

??? If they are in on the designs... how is this supposed to help Intel defeat AMD? Did I miss something?
IBM has worked on developing the material for about a decade and its partners in the research were Advanced Micro, Sony Corp. and Toshiba Corp. The material was developed at IBM's labs in New York state, Meyerson said.

This will trickle through eventually. At present rate though I wouldn't be surprised to see commercial implementation by the end of the decade.
