Moore's Law

Moore's Law

Introduction

Moore's Law is a theory proposed by Gordon Moore, one of the top executives at Intel Computers. It is considered as a thumb rule of computing hardware. It states that the number of transistors that can be placed on an integrated computing circuit (without incurring overly expensive costs) doubles every two years. The performance of a computing chip doubles every two years, according to the theory. More transistors mean faster computing and according to this theory, it takes two years for a company to double the transistors on their computing chips.

Discussion

In 1965, Moore published a paper on this theory. ...
