Lucky it’s not an actual law of physics, just a business phrase.

Eventually to maintain the law we would have to make the item bigger so it can contain more transistors. Which defeats the spirit of the law which is miniaturisation.

Do you think we’re somewhere on the second part of the curve then?
Reading Moore’s paper (which is the reference of the marketing person who coined the term), Moore’s law isn’t just miniaturisation, it was also an observation that’s the economics would improve. ie that building N transistors is cheaper on the next smaller node than the previous.
And without the economics working, the shrinking would never have occurred at the rate it did for so long.
So yes, it getting bigger would be against the spirit of the law.

Well the problem has no solution. You can do some fine tuning but we’ve been at the limit of solid state technology for a while.
Since March 24 2023. That’s when he passed away so he can’t come kick our ass if we’re not following his law.
You can only get smaller for so long until you run up against the limits of physics
I think she said that. But also this is 2026 so that’s what she or he said.

Yeah I’ve been seeing Moore’s law as a function of tech advancement basically, like its not s doubling of cpu specifically, it’s a doubling of tech change rate
There should be a campaign to rename it to “Moore’s Suggestion” or “Moore’s Guideline”
It was more like Moore’s Observation.
May I suggest: “Moore is less law”
(Moore’s law also never was a law)
I remember when Moore’s law was going strong. Every year or so computers got cheaper and cheaper. Good times.

Appreciate you not using fedopedia.
It physically can’t, from what I can tell.
