A very interesting point I heard in a seminar* about Moore's law is that is was before all a commercial roadmap: at that point, Gordon Moore was probably more business-oriented than research-oriented, and such predictable improvements are above all useful to plan investments, so it seems that the semiconductor industry tried very hard to remain on that roadmap all these years (and obviously failed recently). * by Jean-Pierre Raskin (UC Louvain) about what would the semiconductor industry look like tomorrow, and how to make it more responsible.
