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.
In: 1
very simply, Moores law is an observation made in the mid 1960s that the amount of stuff they could fit on a single circuit board (and, by extension, the processing power) was doubling every 18-24 months.
this observation remained true basically for the whole 60 years since the comment was made. in that time, computers have increased in power roughly 1,073,741,824 times.
theirs been talk of how we are reaching the limits of this and soon the pace will slow, and it has a little….but people have been saying that for like 20 years.
