Question

Did you know? Moore's Law (Gordon Moore, 1965): the number of transistors on a chip doubles every 2 years. It held for 50 years — until physical limits (atomic size) began to slow it down around 2015. A modern smartphone chip has 16+ billion transistors.

Accepted Answer

Moore's Law (Gordon Moore, 1965): the number of transistors on a chip doubles every 2 years. It held for 50 years — until physical limits (atomic size) began to slow it down around 2015. A modern smartphone chip has 16+ billion transistors.

Moore's Law (Gordon Moore, 1965): het aantal transistors op een chip verdubbelt elke 2 jaar. Het hield 50 jaar lang stand — totdat fysieke limieten (atoom-grootte) het rond 2015 begonnen te vertragen. Een moderne smartphone-chip heeft 16+ miljard transistors.
