No, it was the number of integrated components on a chips, not transistor density.
Anyway, I think the article's statement is fine. Doubling the number of components would suggest that performance doubles too.
- brianwawok 11y agoDoes a car with 12 cylinders drive twice as fast as one with 6? Or accelerate? Performance is too complicated to just say "CPU X doubles perf".. because likely some perf cases stayed the same, some got better, but some got worse (think deep pipelines).
