Moore's Law

On April 19, 1965, in his paper "Cramming More Components Onto Integrated Circuits," Gordon Moore made an observation, later commonly called Moore's Law.

The observation was that ever since the integrated circuit was developed, the number of transistors contained in them has doubled every two years. Dr. Gordon Moore has admitted that his law cannot be sustained indefinitely and that eventually transistors would reach the limits of miniaturization.

Today, some like NVidia's CEO Jensen Huang has declared Moore's law dead in 2022. Others believe Moore's law could continue until 2025.
