I might be making a fool of myself but isn’t Moore’s law about computational capacity rather than size/number of transistors? Or maybe that’s the modern simplification..
What I’m getting at is that the “law” might be more or less substrate independent.
- rolph 7y agothis might help things: https://duckduckgo.com/html?q=moores%20law https://duckduckgo.com/html?q=moores%20law Indirectly moores law relates to computational capacity. directly, its about the number of transistors doubling every two years, and [cost] for that increase also decreasing. Moores hits a wall when you account for thermal penalties attached to ever miniaturizing the junction and the CPU. there is perhaps a step funtion involved with quantum computational mechanisms, such that the ratio of computational capacity to individual gates is higher than with silicon junctions or nanosheets
