There’s plenty of room at the Top: What will drive computer performance after Moore’s law? (2020)<p>PDF: <a href="http://gaznevada.iq.usp.br/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/thompson-20_computer_performance_review.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://gaznevada.iq.usp.br/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/thomps...</a>
This metric is predicated on the assumption that chips must be manufactured by printing transistors on 2D silicon. I'm sure when 3d silicon printing becomes possible we will have to generalize Moore's law to 3D.
I sometimes wonder, if it is just me.<p>No-one, no site I have read, whether they are tabloid type ( like Wccftech ) or professional type ever claims the end of Moore's law equals the end of transistor improvement. ( It just meant we wont be getting the improvement as quickly or as much )<p>And yet somehow, somewhere, some marketing reckons the Mass Thinks Moore's Law equals transistor improvement. So we are now "redefining" Moore's Law equals transistor improvement and it is not dead. As shown in the recent Intel Conference.<p>Which sort of make any discussion on the topic pointless.
