Moore'S Law
| Moore's Law is the statement that a computer's speed capability will go up every year, even though fees go down. This has been true since the early days of computing, when Gordon Moore, one of the founders of Intel, first observed that the number of transistors on a chip doubled approximately every two years while the cost of chips stayed the same. This trend has continued for more than 50 years and shows no signs of slowing down. As Moore's Law has continued to hold true, it has had a profound impact on the computing industry and the way we use computers today. Thanks to the ever-increasing speed and power of computers, we now have access to a level of computing power that would have been unimaginable just a few decades ago. Moore's Law is often cited as one of the main reasons why the tech industry has been able to grow so rapidly. It's also one of the driving forces behind the exponential growth of the digital economy. As we look to the future, it's hard to say exactly what impact Moore's Law will have. But one thing is certain: thanks to Moore's Law, the computing industry will continue to grow and change in ways that we can only imagine. |
