The End of Moore’s Law

I agree with you. Nothing motivates more than someone that it is impossible.

Declaring that it will be impossible to go beyond a certain point on Moores Law just drives the crazies of the world to do the impossible.

It will be fun.

The End of Moore’s Law

Unlike Boyle's Law, Newton's Law or any other scientific law, Moore's Law is an observation. A great observation that as of this post, it still holds. However, it is not carved in stone. When engineers started to feel the nm barrier, they innovated and went sideways. They introduced multiple cores to divide tasks and do things simultaneously. Some also used other resources such as GPU's that helped CPU's in tasks commonly attributed as CPU only.

I truly think that the end of Moore's law as it is will only spark even more innovation.

There are many brilliant scientists and engineers out there and it will be a fun and amusing to see how things unfold.
