Title: Gordon Moore, creator of Moore's Law, co-founder of Intel has died. Post by: DaveF on March 25, 2023, 02:04:27 PM Probably not the best place to discuss it, but I figure it's worth a mention here in the hardware section since over the years we have had a lot of discussions about Moore's Law and how much speed we can get out of how small a die on a chip and if it would keep going or would we hit a size / speed wall.
He was one of the co-founders of intel and in general a really intelligent person: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_Moore Probably did more to advance ICs more then any other person. RIP -Dave Title: Re: Gordon Moore, creator of Moore's Law has died. Post by: dansus021 on March 26, 2023, 04:47:06 AM He is co-founding Intel I mean this man was a revolutionary despite his law Moore's Law is no longer relevant. But still this guy was the father of Chip.
Well the only thing to say right now is Rest In Peace Mr. Gordon Moore :'( Title: Re: Gordon Moore, creator of Moore's Law has died.

Ie no standard gas burning car will get 1000 miles to the gallon. and no asic miner will do 1 watt per th for the sha 256 algo. as for 1000 miles a gallon or 1 watt per th being impossible limits that wont be met we can call it Phil’s Law.😀 |
