Intel Researchers See Moore's Law Becoming Obsolete

Posted by simoniker on from the vote-on-it-now dept.

prostoalex writes "A paper, published by Intel researchers, claims we might be the witnesses of Moore's Law becoming obsolete, as the rate of shrinkage for transistors goes lower with each year. In 2018 we might be able to get the chips manufactured with 16-nanometer technology, then one or two more manufacturing processes will shrink it even further, but after that we're facing the physical limits."

    Wow, this should be Exhibit A in "How to write a 100 word post and get modded up to +5 without having any idea what you're talking about." Nice work. For me to poop on.

    Isn't this a "dupe" from like, 3 years or so ago? I distinctly recall intel researchers saying the exact same thing at some point in the past - several times.

    Move along, nothing to see here.

    Furthermore, why is "Moore's Law" considered a law anyway? Wouldn't it be a postulate, since being a law requires some sort of foundational evidence that's inerrant?This hardly fits that category in my mind.
