		Moore’s Law Wikiby Daniel Nenni on 07-13-2025 at 11:06 am
 
			
		
	
		
	
	
	
		
Overview
Moore’s Law is an empirical observation stating that the number of transistors on a microchip doubles approximately every two years, leading to exponential improvements in computing performance, efficiency, and cost per function. It has been a guiding principle for the semiconductor industry for over five decades,… Read More
