Move Over, Moore’s Law

Zocalo — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 07:01:40 +0000

The silicon computer chip is reaching the limits of Moore’s Law, Intel co-founder Gordon E. Moore’s observation that the number of transistors on chips would double every two years. Moore’s Law is one of the reasons why processing speed—and computer capabilities in general—have increased exponentially over the past few decades. But just because silicon is at its outer limits doesn’t mean that advances in computer hardware technology are going to stop; in fact, it might mean a whole new wave of innovation. In advance of former Intel CEO Craig R. Barrett and Arizona State University President Michael M. Crow’s Zócalo event on the future of nanotechnology, we asked engineers and people who think about computing, “What comes after the computer chip?”
