Moore's Law IS dead for single core CPU performance.

Moore's Law IS dead for single core CPU performance.
- pavlov 10y agoYes. My point was that the scope of applications seems to be expanding (even on the consumer level) such that single-threaded performance on an x86-style instruction set and memory model isn't the end-all definition of computing power anymore.
- mrb 10y ago"Moore's Law IS dead for single core CPU performance." Moore's Law was never about single core CPU performance. It is about the number of transistors in a single chip; this has always been its definition.
- honkhonkpants 10y agoActually Moore's law is about the number of transistors you can etch for a single dollar.
- astrodust 10y agoMoore's Law: "Moore's law (/mɔərz.ˈlɔː/) is the observation that the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit doubles approximately every two years." That's the definition I've always known. It has nothing to do with money or speed or performance, but usually these things are correlated.
