Question

In 1965 Gordon Moore, Co-founder of Intel, made a prediction about the future of computer processing. What does his prediction, known as Moore's Law say?

• A. As technology continues to advance, computer chips will become obsolete.
• B. Computer processing power will double every 18 months to two years.
• C. There will eventually be no need for transistors in high-tech electronics.
• D. As the number of transistors increases, computer processing power will be reduced by half in every two years.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

In 1965, Gordon Moore, the Co-founder of Intel, made a significant prediction about the future of computer processing known as Moore's Law. This prediction states that computer processing power will double approximately every 18 months to two years. The key aspect of Moore's Law is the exponential growth in the number of transistors that can be placed on a microchip, which in turn leads to a proportional increase in computing power. This law has been observed to hold true for several decades, significantly influencing the pace of technological advancement in the semiconductor industry.
