THE ROADMAP TO A REVOLUTION Moore’s law has a simple logic to it. The number of transistors in integrated circuits doubles every year. Intel co-founder Gordon Moore made this prediction in 1965. At this time, 50 transistors per chip was the lowest per transistor cost. Moore predicted that, by 1970, an integrated chip would contain 1,000 transistors and that the price per transistor would drop by 90 percent. This law was a reflection of reality at the time. And it has been a reflection of reality for a long, long time. Indeed, some time ago, the silicon chip industry noticed this trend and started using it as a roadmap for their products. What was a mere observation ended up becoming a target that the entire industry should achieve. This wasn’t just a goal set by the industry. It became a roadmap for the companies in the semiconductor industry. The Semiconductor Industry Association, a group that includes Intel, AMD, TSMC, GlobalFo...
