It's Gate-all-around FET (GAAFET), not a new idea but the industry just went in a different direction. Just allows more surface area for the gate, which improves various properties of the device. There's a description of it on Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multigate_device#Gate-all-around_FET_(GAAFET).
