End of Moore's Law in 10-15 years?

javipas writes "In 1965 Gordon Moore — Intel's co-founder — predicted that the number of transistors on integrated circuits would double every two years. Moore's Law has been with us for over 40 years, but it seems that the limits of microelectronics are now not that far from us. Moore has predicted the end of his own law in 10 to 15 years, but he predicted that end before, and failed."

it's the law

Moore has predicted the end of his own law in 10 to 15 years, but he predicted that end before, and failed.

So then it seems with regards to his Law, Moore has fallen prey to Murphy.

What about the inverse of Moore's Law.. Every 2 years, the average IQ of all users on the internet halves.

Not to worry...

It will be just in time for the arrival of cold fusion.

Moore's Second Law

Moore's second law: "Moore's first law will only work for 10-15 more years".
Moore's third law: "Moore's second law applies from the time it is quoted not from when it was originally uttered".

Hafnium Breakthrough

from tfa:

"We're not far from that," Moore said on Monday. "Before we had our Hafnium breakthrough, we were down to the point where we were at five molecular layers in the gate structure of the transistors. When you clearly can't go below one...you get into other types of problems," Moore said. The law will continue, they just need breakthroughs with Quarternium, Eigthnium, etc..

And next year ...

Next year, they'll tell us that Moore's Law will end in 5-7.5 years.

Re:Law?

[plover]

Can we stop being so f'ing pedantic every time a story mentions Moore's Law?

This is slashdot, so ...

no.

My prediction

[Random832]

I predict the number of predictions of the end of Moore's Law will double every six months.
