> Roughly every two years, the density of transistors that can be fit onto a silicon chip doubles. This is Moore’s Law. that... isn't the moore law, it is about count / complexity, not density. and larger chips are a valid way to fullfill it. https://hasler.ece.gatech.edu/Published_papers/Technology_overview/gordon_moore_1965_article.pdf https://hasler.ece.gatech.edu/Published_papers/Technology_ov... https://www.eng.auburn.edu/~agrawvd/COURSE/E7770_Spr07/READ/Gordon_Moore_1975_Speech.pdf https://www.eng.auburn.edu/~agrawvd/COURSE/E7770_Spr07/READ/...

  even if it were, that isn't about transistor density, but power density, which is not the same as > the density of transistors that can be fit onto a silicon chip doubles the whole article takes off from a flawed and fantasious misinterpretation and argue against that self created windmill

That is the literal definition on the first three Google hits I found. Wikipedia, referencing his original paper: "The observation is named after Gordon Moore, the co-founder of Fairchild Semiconductor and Intel and former CEO of the latter, who in 1965 noted that the number of components per integrated circuit had been doubling every year,[a] and projected this rate of growth would continue for at least another decade. In 1975, looking forward to the next decade, he revised the forecast to doubling every two years, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 41%. Moore's empirical evidence did not directly imply that the historical trend would continue, nevertheless, his prediction has held since 1975 and has since become known as a law.

  Why you quoting Wikipedia to me? I literally linked the paper. The paper doesn't mention density. "First three website you found on Google"'s opinion don't matter for a lot when we have the original formulation, right there, archived And Wikipedia passage you quoted doesn't mention density either, only count. I really, truly don't understand where your comment is coming from and going to.
