To be fair, it's not necessarily clear what to do with those transistors. When people think of Moore's Law, they usually think of all of CMOS scaling, Dennard scaling, faster clock speeds, etc
Power may soon become the bottleneck as it's not clear that energy per op is going down as fast as transistors are going up
- wongarsu 6y agoPower is the bottle neck right now. We have 16 core processors were each core is capable of 4.7GHz individually. But we can't run all of the cores simultaneously at those speeds because we have trouble with power delivery and especially with dealing with the waste heat that comes with using that much power. The only way we can really use all that transistor density today is to artificially limit clock speeds to conserve power.
