*”moore’s law” is the observation that the number of ‘transistors’ in a ‘dense integrated circuit’ doubles approximately every 2 years*
.
~1965
.
*’moore’s law’ describes a long-term trend in the history of ‘computing hardware’, in which the number of ‘transistors’ that can be placed inexpensively on an ‘integrated circuit’ has doubled approximately every 2 years*
.
(the observation is named after ‘gordon e. moore’ (the co-founder of ‘intel’ + ‘fairchild semi-conductor’) whose 1965 paper described a doubling every year in the # of components per ‘integrated circuit’ + projected this ‘rate of growth’ would continue for at least another ‘decade’)
.
~age 75
.
(in 1975, looking forward to the next decade, he revised the forecast to doubling every two years)
(his prediction proved accurate for several decades, and has been used in the semiconductor industry to guide long-term planning and to set targets for research and development)
(advancements in digital electronics are strongly linked to Moore’s law: quality-adjusted microprocessor prices, memory capacity, sensors, and even the number and size of pixels in digital cameras)
(digital electronics has contributed to world economic growth in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries)
(‘moore’s law’ describes a driving force of technological and social change, productivity, and economic growth)
(the period is often quoted as ’18 months’ because of intel executive ‘david house’, who predicted that ‘chip performance’ would double every ’18 months’ (being a combination of the effect of more ‘transistors’ + the ‘transistors’ being faster))
.
(‘moore’s law’ is an ‘observation’ (or ‘projection’)…)
(…not a ‘physical’ or ‘natural’ law)
.
(although the rate held steady from ‘1975’ until around ‘2012’, the rate was faster during the first decade)
.
(in general, it is not ‘logically sound’ to ‘extrapolate’ from the ‘historical growth rate’ into the ‘indefinite future’)
.
(for example, the ‘2010 update’ to the ‘international technology roadmap for semi-conductors’ predicted that ‘growth’ would slow around ‘2013’)
.
(‘gordon moore’ himself foresaw that the ‘rate of progress’ would eventually reach ‘saturation’…)
“i see moore’s law dying here in the next decade or so”

.
(‘Intel’ stated in 2015 that the pace of advancement has slowed, starting at the 22 nm feature width around 2012, and continuing at 14 nm)
(‘Brian Krzanich’, CEO of Intel, announced that “our cadence today is closer to two and a half years than two”)
(this is scheduled to hold through the 10 nm width in ‘late 2017’)
.
(he cited moore’s ‘1975 revision’ as a ‘precedent’ for the ‘current deceleration’ which results from ‘technical challenges’ and is “a natural part of the history of moore’s law”)
