Moore’s Law:
Moore’s Law is invented by the Intel executive Gordon Moore in the year of 1965.
- Moore detected that each new processor chip carries almost double the capacity of the early day’s processor chip.
- It refers to the number of transistors inside the CPU chip.
- Each new processor chip will be released every two years or within 18 to 24 months of the invention of the previous chip.
- Since, Moore’s predicts that the growth could cause power of computing will rise exponentially over the period of time for future estimation.
