Though it is logical to worry that Moore’s Law improvements cannot continue, the latest analysis of transistor counts by IC Insights suggests the law remains intact. Though growth rates in some product categories have slowed, doubling of transistors per chip every two years remains a guideline that the industry continues to follow,” IC Insights says.
That is important because Moore’s Law allows computing and storage costs to keep dropping, while performance keeps increasing. That enables any number of useful innovations, ranging from applied artificial intelligence to voice-controlled appliances of all sorts, more-precise e-commerce operations, automated and robotic machines and higher-resolution video.
Moore’s Law that states there is a doubling of the number of transistors per chip every two years. A corollary is that price remains the same or drops as well.
Many argue Moore's Law is dead, which would have vast implications for all products and services using computing, storage or information processing, if alternative means of continually boosting device and application performance could not be found. But such alternative means already are recognized.
