Please, no Moore: 'Law' that defined how chips have been made for decades has run itself into a cul-de-sac
In 1965, Gordon Moore published a short informal paper, Cramming more components onto integrated circuits. In it, he noted that in three years, the optimal cost per component on a chip had dropped by a factor of 10, while the optimal number had increased by the same factor, from 10 to 100. Based on not much more but these few data points and his knowledge of silicon chip development – he was head of R&D at Fairchild Semiconductors, the company that was to seed Silicon Valley – he said that for the next decade...
