Moore's Law is the observation by [Gordon E. Moore]
? (one of the co-founders of
Intel, not to be confused with the philosopher
G. E. Moore) stating that, at our rate of technological development and advances in the
semiconductor industry, the number of
transistors on
integrated circuits (a rough measure of computer processing power) doubles every 18 months - 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 ...
Moore first outlined the law in 1965 and the rate has remained highly-consistent until today. Extrapolation based on Moore's Law has led futurists? such as Vernor Vinge to speculate about a technological Singularity.
