Moore’s Law

Moore’s Law is the observation made by Gordon Moore in 1965 that the number of transistors on a microchip doubles approximately every two years, leading to an exponential increase in computing power and a decrease in relative cost.

This phenomenon has significant implications for technology development, including faster processing speeds, improved energy efficiency, and the creation of more powerful devices.

Examples of Moore’s Law in action include:

• The transition from 14nm chips to 7nm chips in processors, allowing for higher transistor density and performance.
• Smartphones becoming increasingly powerful, capable of running complex applications that were previously only possible on desktop computers.

Cases demonstrating its impact include:

• The rapid evolution of gaming consoles, with each generation offering significantly improved graphics and processing capabilities.
• Advancements in Artificial Intelligence, where increasing computational power enables more sophisticated algorithms and larger datasets.
