Gordon Moore: Moore's Law is Dead

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the listen-to-the-law dept.

Golygydd Max writes "Moore's Law will not hold forever, claims Gordon Moore. In a Techworld article, he points out the limitations of the law, in particular, the limitations as we approach the size of atoms. He helpfully explains, however, that the law will hold for a few years yet." Still, sticking around for forty years is pretty impressive.

    It could allow political puppetmasters to corral a bunch of religious wingbats in order to create an uproar about the right to life. Oh wait, only neurons made by the GOD count. Silly me.

    Did it seriously take him 40 years to realize what everyone else has known for quite some time?
    I'm just surprised it's lasted as long as it has.
