Over the years, we have seen the central processing unit or CPU of the computer shrink from the size of a house to that of a stamp while its raw processing power has increased exponentially. We take a look at how far CPUs have progressed in the last 10 years and the major highlights from 1998 to ...
Understanding Moore's Law
arstechnica.com 9/27/2008 — In this installment of Classic.Ars, we take you back to April of 1965, when Electronics magazine published an article by Intel co-founder Gordon Moore. The article and the predictions that it made have since become the stuff of legend, and like most ...
Moore's Law: Made real by Intel® innovation
intel.com 5/25/2009 — Intel co-founder Gordon Moore is a visionary. In 1965, his prediction, popularly known as Moore's Law, states that the number of transistors on a chip will double about every two years. And Intel has kept that pace for nearly 40 years. Today, we ...
New maskless lithography trick may keep Moore's Law on track
arstechnica.com 10/13/2008 — Getting past the 32nm feature size will be a challenge for chip companies looking to keep Moore's Law on track. Recently, researchers uses a low-flying array of plasmonic lenses to demonstrate fast, maskless lithography that could keep the train ...
New research suggests Moore's Law will not cease around 2020
tgdaily.com 12/10/2008 — I don't know if it will be 22, 16, 12 or even smaller, but it is quite clear that shrinking will not work forever and one day we will hit physical barriers. Moore's law could be maintained in the future not by shrinking chips, but by adding more ...
ISuppli: Gear costs to derail Moore's Law in 2014
eetimes.com 6/17/2009 — SAN FRANCISCOMoore's Law, which has held as the benchmark for IC scaling for more than 40 years, will cease to drive semiconductor manufacturing after 2014, when the high cost of chip manufacturing equipment will make it economically unfeasible to ...
AMD's new "Fusion" reboot: can diversity save Moore's Law?
arstechnica.com 1/21/2009 — In late 2006, AMD execs started making noises about a major "Fusion" vision that would be articulated in 2009. At this past CES, the company made good on its promise. Ars takes a look how AMD got here, and where it may be going. Read More...
