There are many values for that doubling delay, sometimes it is 18 months, sometimes it is 24 months. Often, any exponential raise in computer science is -wrongly- labeled as Moore's law (which deals with the number of transistors).

My tweaked law would be 'the delay for the doubling time in the Moore law doubles every 10 years', eventually ending to an asymptotical maximum.

That makes the number of transistors on a chip:

2^((2^(x/10))*x)

which grows VERY quickly, but only approaches infinity as x approaches infinity. I knew I studied maths for a reason.

Due to the global situation of the XXI century, that curb may even decrease.
There are numerous example in history of forgotten technologies and retrograde technological evolutions. Sat, 12 Apr 2008 17:18:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Treza) Comments
