Hi! Can somebody help me understand Moore’s law and its implications? I know it has something to do with microchips but I didn’t really understand it when I searched it up.

OP, I’ve had a relevant argument with my (“boomer,” lol) Dad. My response to his whine “Why do I need to replace my (10+ year old) iPad?”
Well, Moore’s “law” implies that CPUs will effectively double in speed every two years (as other’s have noted, this is a side effect of the transistor density doubling). So, a modern iPad will be 2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2 (counts, yep that’s 10), or 2^10, or 1024 times faster than what you have. At least!
