Moore's law only applied to integrated circuits and systems and was an observation and prediction rather than a true law. This law stemmed from the rapid growth of the tech industry and processes. The curve has slowed as tech nears the technical limits of what electric circuits can handle.
Moore's second law says that computers with the same power will get cheaper this definitely holds true. My hard drive which holds a terabyte of space costs about the same as one that would hold mere megabytes in the 90s.
Phones get more powerful every year, you may not think they are but pick up an old iPhone and weep at the time it takes to do anything and you will understand.
Cars do get more efficient gradually with the introduction of different fuel delivery systems and turbos and using smaller efficient engines to power electric motors.
Making a car faster is pretty pointless because they already go much faster than the safe road speeds but they are still doing it.
Charles Anderson
> limits of what electric circuits can handle Yeah. We're at a bit of a plateau on Moore's Law. Moore's Law is about how many calculations a computer can do per second. Currently, the materials we use can't handle the heat caused by going any faster. The plateau will be beaten by quantum computing.
Hudson Murphy
>every 2 years there should be a NEW CPU that is double the speed of another
No, every 2 years the transistor capacity in a given IC should double. Doubling transistors doesn't mean doubling performance. How those extra transistors are implemented in the IC is what defines the new speed (among dozens of other variables).
Adrian Price
Anyway, why did we let Moore name his stupid hypothesis a "law" again?
Jose Taylor
Murphys law, Poes law, every strange but mysteriously correct supposition about the world is a law.
It refers to most recent tech developments, not fucking consumer electronics lol (which are intentionally shit quality and extremely disposable). Also it's not scientific, it's just an observation someone coined. Saged and reported, this is a science and mathematics board.
Ryan Green
It's a not a scientific law, retard. Just like Set Theory isn't a scientific theory, or Computer Science isn't a scientific science. These are all general usages of words.
Hunter Thompson
>The plateau will be beaten by quantum computing. He doesn't know what quantum computers are
The limit will be beaten by 2D materials forming classical computers enabling vertical stacking.
Luke Young
Moore's "law" isn't a law.

I wish I could reach through my monitor and strangle every moron that posts this image.
Robert Howard
Its a meme.
Gabriel Roberts
Sorry bud, but it's an accurate image. Technology IS coming to a plateu at best.
Ethan Reed
More like a theory than a law
Mason Lee
It hasn't held for years. Also, why should more computational power make better cars? ECU's are already really underpoweree machines, if anything, they would just get cheaper.
Michael Sanders
It's not just the heat. Circuits have become so small that tunnelling currents can cause significant internal leakage.
Joseph Perez
I wish I could reach through my monitor and strangle every moron that reacts to that pic with this canned phrase.

Moore's law is sort of like an empirical law rather than a predictive one So it's not always necessarily true
Jackson Bailey
>every 2 years there should be a NEW CPU that is double the speed of another No, that has absolutely nothing to do with moores law.
>or every 2 years there should be an IPHONE that is double the previous? again, completely unrelated to moores law.
>which is bullshit cause phones dont get that much more powerful every 2 years obviously.
>Also shit like cars should be more efficient every 2 years THAT IS ENTIRELY UNRELATED, it doesn't even have ANY connection. At least with your last to statements you didn't manage to hit an ENTIRELY UNRELATED FIELD OF STUDY.
Aside from that moores laws is practically dead anyway.
Justin Price
>and was an observation and prediction rather than a true law but that's basically what most scientific laws are. scientific laws are in some ways weaker than theories, which is something most people don't seem to understand.
