Last week, we were treated to an earful about Intel’s plans for its future chips — most notably, that it’s committing to 3D transistors across the board. Well, that trickle of information hasn’t run dry just yet — today’s tidbit gives us a peek not into the next-generation of Atom , but the one already in the works to come after that. The new processor, codenamed “Silvermont,” will be a system-on-a-chip and is reportedly slated to ship sometime in 2013. CNET also cites unnamed sources who claim that it will be designed specifically to take advantage of Intel’s 22nm technology and 3D transistors. As it stands, though, they boost the cost of wafers by two to three percent, so here’s hoping that premium comes down before the netbooks of the future hit the market — if we have netbooks in the future. Next-next-gen Atom will be a system on a chip called ‘Silvermont,’ pack 3D transistors? originally appeared on Engadget on Thu, 12 May 2011 14:01:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds .

But by the end of this month its shell will crack and out will come a fortune worth up to $110m (£67.5m), enriching people he never knew and bringing to an end the saga of one of the strangest bequests in US history. The “golden egg” belonged to one Wellington Burt, a fabulously wealthy Michigan lumber tycoon who was, according to the account of his contemporaries, brilliant, crotchety and eccentric in equal measure. When he died in 1919, aged 87, he had a multimillion fortune to give away, and was expected to provide handsomely for his immediate family and for the various Saginaw causes that he espoused. It was not to be. Nobody quite knows why — some say it was the result of petty gripes against family members, others that he was a sour old man who wanted to wreak his revenge beyond the grave — but Burt wrote one of the most peculiar wills that probate lawyers can remember. The “golden egg” he said would remain in its nest for 21 years after the death of his last surviving grandchild. That last of his grandchildren alive when he died was Marion Lansill, and she herself passed away in November 1989, thus starting the 21-year countdown that ended last November. Since then a local judge in charge of the trust fund has been poring over 30 applications from individuals eager to share in the spoils. The local newspaper, the Saginaw News, reports that at the end of the judge’s researches, 12 people will divide up the golden egg, now estimated after interest to be worth between $100m and $110m. The beneficiaries form a disparate group, spread out from the east to west coasts of the US. None of the 12 knew Burt, though the eldest of the group was two years old when he died. The sum they receive varies greatly too, under a formula agreed between family lawyers that grants most money to those closest in generation to Burt with fewest siblings. The greatest individual profit is $16m and the least $2.9m. For those who came before them, and who were deprived of any of Burt’s fortune, his legacy was one of bitterness, and some say a curse. The newspaper says that Burt’s six children, seven grandchildren, six great-grandchildren and 11 great-great grandchildren all received not a penny, either because they died while the “golden egg” lay dormant or because they were deemed ineligible. To rub salt into the wound, Burt left his immediate offspring a relatively miniscule annual allowance of as little as $1,000 a year — the same as he left his cook, housekeeper and coachman. The youngest of the 12 heirs, Christina Cameron, 19, who will receive almost $3m, as will her sister Cory, told the Saginaw News that she had mixed feelings about the windfall as she had seen the pain it caused her forebears. First her grandfather had been due to inherit, but he died two years ago. Then her mother was in line, but she died aged 50 last February. “I guess all of this happening within a year made this seem more like a curse,” Cameron said. “My grandfather was pretty excited about it, and then my mother was pretty excited about it as well. Cory and I are not as excited.” Michigan United States Ed Pilkington guardian.co.uk
