years and counting is it still relevant?
One topic of discussion that regularly pops up among techies predominantly in the computer industry is Moores Law. Moore’s Law has been a valuable benchmark for the developments in microelectronics and information processing technologies. It essentially relates to a statement made by Intels co-founder Gordon Moore back in 1965, where he proclaimed that the number of transistors in a processor would double every year, later revised to every two years. The press called it “Moore’s Law” and the name has stuck. Moores original assumption was included in a paper entitled Cramming more components onto integrated circuits, published in the April 19, 1965 edition of Electronics magazine. To view the original paper, click here. Moore observed an exponential growth in the number of transistors per integrated circuit and predicted that this trend would continue. Through Intel’s relentless technology advances, the doubling of transistors every couple of years, has been maintained, and still holds
