WhatisMoore’slaw?
Fontana,Decad,Biskeborn- IBMSystems Moore'sLawScalingRealitiesforStorageComponents 3
• 1965:GordonMooreobservedthatthenumberoftransistors,resistorsandcapacitorsinanintegratedcircuit(IC)hadbeenincreasingexponentially(2xperyear); thisimpliedthattheunitcostofthetransistors,etc.,thatcouldbecrammedintoanICwasdecreasingexponentially
• 1975:MoorerefinedhisobservationandmadeprojectionthatICcomplexitywoulddoubleevery2years (withICcostremainingstatic)- thisbecameknownas‘Moore’sLaw’
• Theimplicationofthisistheunitcostofthetransistors,etc.,willdecrease2xevery2years
• Thereisacloseparalleltothisfordigitaldatastorage
