And that's exactly what the parent commenter is saying. Moore's law actually wasn't about transistor density in the beginning, it was changed to this definition

And that's exactly what the parent commenter is saying. Moore's law actually wasn't about transistor density in the beginning, it was changed to this definition when they realized transistor density is the only thing increasing exponentially.
- Ericson2314 11y agoWell, Moore's law is stupid however it is defined, and I do also hope for big benefits from architecture (interface and implementation) work. So I guess I shouldn't be picking an argument :). [As an aside, I had thought that Moore's law was originally transistor density, and the hype machine spun it into performance. But like I said, Moore's law is doomed regardless, so whatever.]
