Murphys gesetz 9 fantasy5/2/2023 When you start to look for them, there are a lot of laws, rules and principles like this in general use, and they will sometimes be used without any further explanation (try googling “as per Moore’s law” and see how few of the articles even mention what Moore’s law is). Instead, it’s an observation that has quite reliably turned out to be true (though the pace of advancement in electronics is now slowing down, and Intel now consider it to be nearer two and a half years than two). Put very crudely, it means that processing power is getting much better, all the time – which drives the limits of our technological progress.īut it’s not a law in the sense that circuit designers will go to prison if they don’t live up to it. In isolation, that seems quite dull, but its implications are hugely significant. It comes from Gordon Moore, who co-founded Intel, and it states that the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit doubles approximately every two years.
