Seriously... can you please learn how to use a search engine? There is no sense in asking questions here which you could answer yourself with literally ten seconds of Google searches.

You could get the answer faster using a search engine and you won't annoy us into cutting you off.Sherwyn said:My response to that is why use a search engine when i can talk to real people...
Moore's Law is a prediction made by Intel co-founder Gordon Moore in 1965, stating that the number of transistors on a microchip will double approximately every two years, resulting in exponential growth in processing power and decrease in cost.
Moore's Law serves as a guideline for the development and advancement of technology, as it has accurately predicted the capabilities of microchips for over five decades. It has also influenced the development of other industries, such as software and hardware design.
While some experts believe that Moore's Law may be reaching its limits due to the physical constraints of chip manufacturing, it remains relevant as a concept and continues to guide the progress of technology. Some companies, such as Intel, have also found ways to continue increasing the number of transistors on a chip in accordance with Moore's Law.
Moore's Law has led to the development of smaller, faster, and more efficient devices, such as smartphones and laptops. It has also contributed to the growth of industries such as artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things. However, it has also raised concerns about electronic waste and the sustainability of constantly upgrading technology.
Gordon Moore, along with Robert Noyce, co-founded Intel Corporation, which is responsible for developing and manufacturing microchips in accordance with Moore's Law. However, Moore's Law has also been adopted and referenced by other technology companies and industries.
