Limits of Moore's Law

Question 1

Moore’s Laws

Answer 1

Moore’s Law, suggested by Gordon Moore in 1965, says that the number of tiny parts (transistors) on a computer chip doubles about every two years.

This has made computers faster, smaller, and cheaper over time.

Better performance: More transistors mean more power and speed.

Lower cost: Making chips gets cheaper as technology improves.

Question 2

Limits of Moore’s Law

Answer 2

Moore’s Law is slowing down because making transistors smaller is getting harder.

Size limits: Tiny transistors can have strange quantum problems and are hard to make.

Heat problems: More transistors create more heat, which can hurt performance.

High cost: Smaller parts are more expensive and tricky to produce.

Material limits: Silicon may not be good enough for future needs.
