hah... all that moores law talk...
everybody sees something different in it

i always get a laugh out of presentations that claim moores law is dead, moores law has been surpassed or moores law cant continue because they did something...

depending on how you look at it, moores law has been dead for quite a while, as manufacturing and r&d costs have increased a lot, so you dont "just" get double the transistors every 18 months... if youd spend enough you could probably get 4 times the transistors every 18 months, but thats not the point...

another thing is that intel has been working on a 24months shrink cycle for the past years, and for amd you can add a few weeks on top of that...

anyhow... i think its silly taking this thing so seriously... i mean the original conclusion he made was that transistor density doubles "roughly" every 18 months... "roughly"... i doubt that he meant it to be a serious rule or guideline, and im surprised so many people see it as such and argue over semantics
