Is Moore’s law still applicable today? And is there any limitations to just how small a transistor can actually get?
In: Physics
There’s two sides to the equation.
One is the size of transistors another poster mentioned. This is reaching atomic limits at this point where they’re literally counting the number of mile it in each transistor.
The other is the number of transistors per processor. Software improvements in designing processors continue to increase the number of transistors per processor, but today it’s more about improvements in the *number* of “cores” more than the *speed* of individual “cores” for the reasons stated above.
