Moore's Law Last modified: Friday, September 10, 2004
(môrz lâ) (n.) The observation made in 1965 by Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel, that the number of transistors per square inch on integrated circuits had doubled every year since the integrated circuit was invented. Moore predicted that this trend would continue for the foreseeable future. In subsequent years, the pace slowed down a bit, but data density has doubled approximately every 18 months, and this is the current definition of Moore's Law, which Moore himself has blessed. Most experts, including Moore himself, expect Moore's Law to hold for at least another two decades.

Despite Chip Breakthrough, Moore's Law Still Rules Article (September, 1997) by Hiawatha Bray that explains why Moore's Law still holds despite a chip breakthrough that enables a single transistor to hold two bits of information. Moore's Law for Intel CPUs Simple graph showing how Intel's x86 microprocessors have obeyed Moore's Law. The End of Moore's Law? The current economic boom is likely due to increases in computing speed and decreases in price. Now there are some good reasons to think that the party may be ending.
