Moore’s law:

  • It was a law stated by Gordon Moore, CEO of Intel, in1965.
  • In this observation, he predicted that there will be a doubling every year in the number of components per integrated circuit, and this rate of growth would continue for at least another decade.

Implications:

  • This law is used in quadrupling of computer power which happens due to the combination of more and faster transistors...
