Gordon Moore predicted the dramatic increase in transistors per chip in 1965 and his prediction has held for decades. Some industry analysts insist that Moore’s Law been a predictor of chip design, but others say it is a motivator for designers of new chips. In your opinion, who is correct? Explain your answer.
