Transformation of technology
10. Moore’s law
“The number of transistors
incorporated in a chip will
double every 24 months.”
Gordon Moore | Intel, 1965
AI becomes more real
as processors become
more powerful
There is more processing
power in an iPhone than
all of NASA had in the
Moon Landings.
If the average cars speed could increase
at a trajectory consistent with Moore’s
Law, since 1965, today it would almost
be able to travel at the speed of light.
In 2012, the process lead
to a 22nm chip, 4,000th
the width of a human hair.
