If the hypothesis holds even in part, deceleration of Moore's Law could have drag effects on progress in many domains.

- jgeada 3y agoThe death of Moore's Law has been predicted for a couple of decades. Sure, eventually we'll run into the limit, but I'd need strong evidence for such a claim. (and yes, some related semiconductor laws no longer scale. Dennard scaling has been lost, etc)
- automatic6131 3y agoMoore's law died several years ago. Mid '10s. The strong evidence? Pay more attention to consumer computer tech. There are still ongoing improvements - but the pace has slowed, and those improvements are MORE expensive. This is how Moore's law died, not with an end to a trend, but a faltering curve.
