2. Moore’s Law
• Chip performance per dollar doubles every
eighteen to twenty-four months.
• Chips = Processors
• Execute instructions of a program
• Determines computer speed

3. Why Does Moore’s Law
Matter?
• Processors in 18-24
months will be twice
as fast as existing
models, but cost the
same.
• Current processors
would then be half
their current price.

4. The Limits of Moore’s Law
• Photolithography (the patterning and etching of chips
using light)
• Rising Costs
• Temperature control
• Our ability to manufacture smaller components

5. Overcoming the Limits with
Nanotechnology
• Carbon Nanotubes- Aiding in
heat dissipation and structural
design
• Nanowires- helping to increase
the maximum number of
transistors on silicon chips

6. Overcoming the Limits with
Nanotechnology
• Thermoplastic Nanoimprint
Lithography- The current
standard
• 3D Lithography- The latest
breakthrough in chip
manufacturing

7. Faster Processors

8. Advances in Flash Storage
• Allows for devices to be more compact
• No moving Parts
• Technology that is used in tablets (Ipad, Macbook Air, etc)
• Allows for more portable and lightweight products

10. Augmented Reality
• The practice of enhancing what is already around
us

11. Augmented Reality
• Changing the way we view the world
• Turns any surface into an interactive
screen
• Technology and reality meet and interact
