Moore’s Law less applicable

Moore’s Law of computing is a rule of thumb that says that the number of transistors in a processor will double every two years due to advancements in technology. The rule has dominated the computing world since the 1960s, but according to the Nature Journal of Science, it nearing the end of it is road.

Chipmakers trying to double transistors have been forced to look at the problem a bit differently. They have been doubling value for the consumer every two years instead of speed. Placing tiny, energy-efficient processors into as many things as possible to provide more functionality will become the next era of computing innovation.
