    Moore's law

    Moore's law is the observation that the number of transistors in an integrated circuit doubles about every two years. Moore's law is an observation and projection of a historical trend. Rather than a law of physics, it is an empirical relationship. It is an experience-curve law, a type of law quantifying efficiency gains from experience in production. The observation is named after Gordon Moore, the co-founder of Fairchild Semiconductor and Intel and former CEO of the latter, who in 1965 noted that the number of components per integrated circuit had been doubling every year, and projected this rate of growth would continue for at least another decade. In 1975, looking forward to the next decade, he revised the forecast to doubling every two years, a compound annual growth rate of 41%. Moore's empirical evidence did not directly imply that the historical trend would continue, nevertheless his prediction has held since 1975 and has since become known as a "law". Wikipedia

    [22] [23] Moore's law eventually came to be widely accepted as a goal for the semiconductor industry, and it was cited by competitive semiconductor manufacturers as they strove to increase processing power. Moore viewed his eponymous law as surprising and optimistic: "Moore's law is a violation of Murphy's law. Everything gets better and better."

    Feb 22, 2024"Moore's Law for everything" should be the rallying cry of a generation whose members can't afford what they want. It sounds utopian, but it's something technology can deliver (and in some cases already has). Imagine a world where, for decades, everything-housing, education, food, clothing, etc.-became half as expensive every two ...

    However, Moore's Law was never meant to last forever. Transistors can only get so small and, eventually, the more permanent laws of physics get in the way. Already transistors can be measured on an atomic scale, with the smallest ones commercially available only 3 nanometers wide, barely wider than a strand of human DNA (2.5nm).

    The evolution of Moore's Law reflects the industry's unwavering dedication to advancing technology and overcoming obstacles, ensuring that the legacy of Gordon Moore's vision endures. Challenges and Criticisms. Despite its remarkable influence, Moore's Law has faced increasing scrutiny and challenges in recent years.

    Mar 28, 2023The observation that the number of transistors on computer chips doubles approximately every two years is known as Moore's Law. Moore's Law is not a law of nature, but an observation of a long-term trend in how technology is changing. The law was first described by Gordon E. Moore, the co-founder of Intel, in 1965. 1. The chart shows Moore ...
