Moore's Law is a Farce, Says Intel Video


Did you ever think that Gordon Moore's famous law was just a clever way to impress PC buyers every two years? Watch here as young Gordy Moore cuts right to the chase and invents the 45nm Penryn chip at his kitchen table by mixing a pinch of chips, a dash of metal gates, a dollop of hafnium, and the sweet, malty deliciousness of Core 45. If this footage is real, why was I forced to grow up with a 486 chip?

Gizmodo's Video Salute to Moore's Law

This week, the transistor turns 60, and to celebrate, we decided to take an animated look at Moore's law from the early 1970s to today. Here's you'll see most of Intel's major chip lines, the year they were first introduced and the number of transistors they could support. Watch the numbers go up and up and up, and notice how the chips seem to get more and more colorful along the way. Ahhh, progress! (If you want to see the chip snapshots in gallery form, click here.)

Gordon Moore, the mind behind Moore's Law, predicts his law of doubling processor transistors every two years will be proven wrong in about 10 years. Apparently, there's only so much room on a processor and so small you can make a transistor before you run out of space. [I4U]
