Moore’s Law
January 6, 2010
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 two years. The law was stated by Gordon E. Moore. He was the co-founder of intel, and proclaimed this law in a 1965 paper. The law was stated as “Moore’s Law” in 1970 by Carver Mead. The law has been proving to be roughly right thus far and it is expected to continue until roughly 2015.
