The sheer demand explosion for computational power will keep Moore's Law Alive.
Moore's law states "the number of transistors on a microchip double about every two years" It is used to highlight the rapid increase in information processing technologies that has taken shape over the years. People say Moore's law is ending because designers are unable to develop chips with smaller transistors (more numerous).
Here's why the engineers will find a way to defy odds and keep it alive:
Legacy Companies like Intel will need to find a way - otherwise, they will face disruption
There are other chip variables that can be optimized to keep the law going.
There are more than 100 variables in Chip design that can keep it alive - and each variable has its own pro/cons to push the limits of the law. There are other avenues such as 3D architecture and 3D stacked transistors. This may lead to a world where memory is decoupled from the CPU.
So, the sheer need for survival could play a major role.
Demand and Gekko's Law - Always accelerate innovation
Moore's law has been the gold standard in catering to the endless demands of the software world.
The demand for compute is moving into another level of exponential growth as more data is consumed and processing is needed. The world uses more than 2.5 quintillion data bytes (18 zero's) each day and that is only rising. Activities like running the Metaverse and bitcoin mining will further increase the demand for compute.
Gekko's law (Essay 3/5) stated selfishness is reliable - that could fuel a wave of innovation to help Moore's law survive.
