Moore’s Law by the co-founder of Intel stated that the number of transistors on a Chip doubles every two years, which has been roughly true of several decades.
And there have also been somewhat formulaic increases to [Frequency and Cores Count.](https://i.imgur.com/XbMffI8.jpg)
I wonder what the Holdup is preventing power spikes. Like why did they not quadruple the transistors or increase frequency further. When extra Cores were invented and Intel built the Duo, then Quattro Processors, why did they not extrapolate the technology and build the Twelve-Core-CPUs of today or even 48-Core-CPUs of the future right then and there?

1. This chart is logarithmic so it damps spikes
2. This chart may not contain all examples, it doesn’t specify at all what it’s source data is so we don’t know if data was excluded which might not fit these lines well
