FYI, because clearly you don't know, his exact words were:

"The complexity for minimum component costs has increased at a rate of roughly a factor of two per year. Certainly over the short term this rate can be expected to continue, if not to increase. Over the longer term, the rate of increase is a bit more uncertain, although there is no reason to believe it will not remain nearly constant for at least 10 years."

djranis: i thought moore and murphy were brothers
Moore is a big fat guy who does documentaries and Murphy is a former Detroit police officer who died and became Robocop. I don't think they're related.

snowkatt: we really mean it this time
the law died at age 51 i doubt it wil be missed
Moore's law isn't dead, it's just changed directions.

They've moved to energy efficiency, which is good, But more than that is when a Graphite method can be made for chips there will be a huge leap in performance, not to mention tons more efficient.

However if you want more speed, RAM really has to pick it up. RAM is so very slow in comparison where Cache is used to try and improve speeds.

I'm reminded of watching the videos about ARM processors when they were being designed, they had similar processors out there to others, but because they could use the full bandwidth every cycle with the RAM they were far faster and more efficient.

Besides, they've been pushing more cores vs faster speed for a while. There's test ARM rigs that have 80 cores, and more and more software is being built with multiple processors in mind.

This suddenly reminds me of i remember this tablet or translation (in Egypt?) that was thousands of years old; It had a message in 3 languages written on it, and using the two they could translate the other. For artistic looks the vowels (and extra portions of languages) were omitted.

Very good, but I think it was dug up in Europe, by a few f Napoleon's soldiers.

I didn't say I was one of those smart people. :P

Also there's no point, the guy will be remembered forever, for being wrong. Fact, not point. You could spend your entire life being an idiot and not achieve this level of stupid.

History and Geology are some of my worst subjects...
