Ο νόμος του Moore ...κλείνει τα 40!

Moore's Law
(mτrz l?) (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

Ο πρώτος επεξεργαστής της Intel το 1971 είχε 2.250 λυχνίες.
Το 1978 είχε 29.000, ενώ οι σημερινοί ξεπερνούν τα 100 εκατομμύρια.
Κάθε 18 μήνες διπλασιάζεται ο αριθμός των λυχνίων που μπορούν να ενσωματωθούν σε έναν επεξεργαστή...
