What Is Moore's Law And Why Are People Saying It's Dead?
How-To Geek, December 5th, 2022
Moore's "Law" is an observation by Intel founder Gordon Moore that transistor density doubles at intervals while staying the same price. Some in the industry think that those days are over.
Gordon Moore, the co-founder of Intel, is the man responsible for Moore's Law. It's an observation Moore made that the transistor density of integrated circuits doubles every two years. Some say that Moore's Law is now dead, but why?...
This can be interpreted in a few ways, but it implies two things. First, (at the time) the most basic Integrated Circuit (IC) would double in transistor density every year. Second, that this would also be true at the lowest cost level. So if the cost to manufacture an IC of a given size remains stable over time (taking inflation into account), this would effectively mean that the cost per transistor would halve every two years.
