When does the golden rule of semiconductor scaling finally break? How small can a transistor be? And what in the world is "dark silicon?" Read on for an overview of Moore's Law.
April 19 marks the 50th anniversary of Moore's Law, but the impact of Gordon Moore's prediction that computer power will double every two years has only begun to transform industry and society.
The impact of Moore’s Law For Silicon Valley, Moore’s Law came to be interpreted as a pace of innovation that chip makers had to stay on in order to stay technologically relevant.
TWC and Comcast get desperate, the 3d-printed future hits a setback, and an amazing technological achievement turns half a century old. BitStream has all the news and rumors you missed while ...
Amid talk of the 50th anniversary of Moore’s Law, one may be tempted to ask: so what? Three years before co-founding Intel, Gordon Moore observed that transistors would decrease in cost and ...
How Chip Designers Are Breaking Moore’s Law Microprocessors got smaller, faster and more power-efficient, but as they reach their physical limitations, chip architecture is driving performance gains ...
There was never any question Moore’s Law would end. No one now, or when the law was first penned in 1965, would assume exponential growth could last forever.
Moore’s Law held true for almost 50 years. Think of mainframe computing power now to the average smart phone; what once cost millions is now down to just a few hundred dollars.
Moore's law doesn't describe a natural process. Instead, it is an experience-curve law—a way of putting specifics behind the observation that progress builds on progress.
