Week 42: Celebrating The 50th Anniversary Of Moore’s Law At DAC
By Anne Cirkel - 27 Mar, 2015 - Comments: 0

April 19th will mark the 50th anniversary of Gordon Moore’s now famous paper in Electronics Magazine predicting that the number of transistors on a chip will double every year. In 1975, Moore—Intel’s co-founder—revised the period to every two years, and it is still holding true. Moore’s Law not only became a legendary prediction and long-term planning guide for the semiconductor indus... » read more
