AIUI, this is the current level of micro-ization of computer chips. I had always thought that eventually quantum effects start to become an issue when the transistors get to within 20 atoms in distance, which it would seem that 2 nm is.

I'm sure this gets asked a lot. CPUs and GPUs still kind of mystify me, since I do not know their science. It came to me after studying some computational linguistics that it might be possible that in the next 100 years, we might have smart-translating, smart-talking machines without a theory...

What are indications for future development of transistors and general computing technology design with the Moore's law in mind? Are we going to redesign architecture for better efficiency and what future brings?

Hello All, From my A'Level knowledge of Physics, an electron is both a particle and a wave but not both at the same time. I would like to know when does an electron behave as a wave (if it does) in a transistor? Thanks Yashtir Gopee

Hi! The other day, I read about Moore's Law. To me it seems a miracle how one could predict in 1965 that the number of transistors would double every two years. However, there has to be an end to this exponential growth due to limits of nano technology, fabrication of semiconductors...

[Mentor note: Thread title changed to reflect problem content] I have a problem that I would like to solve with Python, but I don't know the equation for this, here it is: It has been shown that Moore's law not only applies to semiconductor density, but it also predicts the increase in...

The scientific limit on to how small you can make a functionally viable transistor is very fast approaching and should hit a stone wall within the next 10 years or less. How will electronic engineers and computer scientists compensate for this problem? Without some revolutionary breakthrough...

Yeah, all of those things, multipled by five thousand, and there we have the current cosmic predicament for human beings. Is there any way in which we can do something about this? Or will Schopenhauer have the last laugh?

I was reading an article and it said that eventually, when you get silicon transistors to a certain size, they won't be able to operate anymore and will end up melting. I have always wondered the following... what is the point of trying to make transistors smaller when we can just make the...

Hi there, I tried to perform on a search on this forum but couldn't find a thread which answered my question. Is there any risk or known principles applicable to Moore's Law in terms of physical durability and sustainability of function? For small devices; would materials degrade faster...

Hi, here's my question. If all our technology were to suddenly disappear but all our knowledge and designs were to remain, would our progress back to where we were, in terms of chip design, follow Moore's Law? In other words, could one just make a chip with speed X provided one had the...

The smallest current retail microprocessor is 32nm (nanometers) in fabrication. Electronic engineers are struggling to make transistors smaller and smaller as the laws of physics dictate that there is a limit to how small you can make a transistor. Later this year, consumer hardware...

While there are various estimates to the year in which we will not be able to continue adding transistors to a given area on a silicon chip, the typical guess is between 2013 and 2018 [1]. Given that there will eventually be a limit to how small we can make the transistor (due to quantum...

And when it does, will software engineers slowly begin to lose their line of work? Would computer (hardware) engineers lose most of their jobs?

what is Moore's Law?
