This is silly. Just because you can build bigger chips doesn't mean you have anything similar to Moore's law, which was more about the economics of semiconducto

- beervirus 6y agoMoore’s Law is literally about the number of transistors per IC. Building bigger chips is... extremely similar.
- blp 6y agoYes, except the important parts. In Moore’s law scaling, you reduce the cost per transistor, and because of that there is money for capex and the consumer benefits. In Huangs law, si is commoditized, so the benefit accrues to the designer and software makers, and really only in narrow domains.
