Where we stand after 60 years of Moore’s Law

SMRTR summary

In 1965, Intel co-founder Gordon Moore predicted that computer transistors would double exponentially, creating "Moore's Law" that guided the electronics industry for decades. While transistor counts increased 18,000 times by 2000, the pace has slowed, with Intel's CEO noting doubling now takes three years instead of the predicted timeline. Though traditional Moore's Law is ending, the concept continues influencing other fields like artificial intelligence, where OpenAI's CEO cited similar exponential improvements in AI model costs and capabilities.
