They're both really Wright's law. Theodore Wright published a paper in 1936 describing how aircraft production costs decline at a constant percentage with each doubling of production. The formal term is manufacturing learning curve.

- klelatti 6y agoPlus Moore's law has a time based element. I don't think anyone could have got to a 5nm process in 1970 say simply by deciding to up the volume of transistors being produced.
- xiphias2 6y agoGenerallys Moore’s law is time based, Wright’s law is production based. Both are great models, but Ark Invest’s researcher found Wright’s law to be more precise.
