Moore's Law

  Moore's law is about the computing hardware. It decribed a long term trend of its' history.   Integrated Circuits (IC) can hold the number of transistors, about every 12 months (Moore 1975, 12 months will be changed to 18 months) will be doubled, the performance will also be doubling, when the price of the same Time; or that every dollar can buy computer performance every 12 months to more than double.

    IT Industry First Law - Moore's Law, the tall "shadow" hanging over the semiconductor field, today it is to eliminate.
  37 years, it advocated the "faster, smaller, cheaper"philosophy, making the entire IT industry, risen to become another "Olympic" arena. Intel also rely on this to become dominant in the industry. However, today's "Moore's Law, " Intel is becoming "the first spell. " Intel is not only restricted, but also imprisoned the entire semiconductor industry.
  Now, with the South Korean semiconductor resurgence and the rise of China Semiconductor, the global semiconductor industry has changed, the cycle law will also be completely different. Expectations based on a good day for the old law, might not be happened.
  To be able to catch up with the pace of Moore's Law, the chip industry have to chip design, new materials and new technology have a major breakthrough. However, when chip makers in their brains to improve chip performance and reduce the heat of the time, also contributed to the design and production problems. Meyerson, chief technology officer, IBM said, we are in a major shift in the chip industry during the period, the traditional thinking is no longer applicable, we must rely on innovation.
  Now, not only competitors in the market as well as upstream and downstream speeds are no longer blindly follow the Moore's Law increase, even Intel's own, too quiet departure from the law of which it is respected. For example Centrino product, no longer to upgrade speeds as a selling point, but bundled with a wireless communication module, the combination of computing and communication technologies.
  Moore's law can't still keep the position of the past 40 years. it slowly stepped down.
