Moore's law is a term attributed to Intel founder Gordon E. Moore who observed in 1965 that the number of transistors that could be purchased inexpensively and placed on an integrated circuit doubles every year, whichyear. In 1975, he revised in 1975his estimate to be every two years. It is often discussed as a doubling every 18 months, but that is a separate claim by David House, Intel executive, of overall chip performance. Moore's law been approximately correct for four decades.
Though current CMOS technology is predicted to be nonviable below a certain size, many other technologies offer the potential for far greater miniaturization. This may delay Moore's law temporarily while the new technologies enter full-scale production. An end to Moore's law has often been falsely predictedpredicted, but continues neverthelesshas failed to be a popular topic for speculation.materialize so far.
