what happen if moore's law is deleted
What happen if Moore's Law is deleted from the world
- Thread starter Prajinvenkat
- Start date
What are you talking about and what does this have to do with Linux?
Although I agree with m'colleague above, as I understand it, "Moore's Law" was never an actual 'law', as such.....and certainly never on any statute books anywhere.
It was an observation - by Gordon Moore, one of the founding members of Intel - during the mid-80's to late 90s.....that at that time, the speed of progress was roughly doubling the number of transistors on any given IC (integrated circuit) approximately every 18 months. For several years, this held true.
As time passed, those in the industry began encountering issues which made it impossible to maintain this "truth" (including the prophecy that CPUs would soon be running at speeds of 10 GHz +). This was largely due to two things; excessive heat generation, and electromigration. This latter was first encountered at the time of the Northwood-cored Pentium 4 when vigorously overclocked via the application of higher voltages, and led to what became known as Sudden Northwood Death Syndrome amongst the overclocking community. Different approaches were then pursued, leading to the slower-running but more capable early multi-core chips of the day.
Official thread (retired "sticky" ) at Overclockers.com:-
Nowadays, we seem to have gone full circle. Not only are chips being produced that run at insanely high speeds, they also have dozens, if not scores of cores AND many of 'em only sip at the available power. However, performance still seems to need higher power throughputs to truly attain the expected results.
'Moore's Law' has been in decline for many years, at least going by the original premise. But even if it WAS "deleted" tomorrow, precisely ZERO would happen...

So this topic has nothing to do Linux or tech?
@f33dm3bits :-
Not Linux specifically, no. Tech 'history', very much so......but you can quite happily close and delete this thread if you wish.
No skin off my nose......though on the Puppy Forums, we would NOT delete the thread purely on a whim through strict interpretation of "the rules". Then again, it's not MY place to make the decisions here..!

Thanks! Moved to General Computing.
@Prajinvenkat could you next time put a bit more effort into your topic. You seem to have the habit to put very little effort into your topics and than people have to ask questions in order to understand what you are actually talking about or asking. Could you next time put a bit more effort into your topic. Thanks!

ok sorry for my poor English
It's okay, more people who's first language isn't English. You can try using a translator or have AI help you write something out. When you do use AI just mention that you used AI to help you translate your topic.
Yes.
