Well that's not great... They're already pretty expensive as it is.

Moore's law has been dead for a long long time.

E: if you're downvoting this it's because you don't have a clue what you're talking about. Moore's law was the observation that transistor density would double every ~2 years. That's not happening and hasn't for a long time.

Moore's law hasn't died, if you mean number of transistors per area. Linear scaling to transistor counts has.

[–] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It absolutely has. Transistor count in an area absolutely is not doubling every two years.

I just checked. Yup, you're right. Funny though that Pat of all people claims it's not dead lol
