Computer Evolution and Performance Part 8

Moore's Law

• The number of components on a chip increases.
• Gordon Moore - the founder of Intel.
• The number of transistor in a chip twice each year.
• Since 1970 progress rather slowly.
• Number of transistor into 2 times every 18 months.
  

Moore's Law (2)

• Price from chip average still not changed.
• Higher density means packing more electronic point short, the capacity will increase.
• Increase the size of the decline flesibilitas.
• Reduce power and cooling needs.
• Some Interconnection improve reliability.
