Understanding Moore's Law | |
|
||
| Time: 09:16 EST/14:16 GMT | News Source: E-Mail | Posted By: Jared Evans | ||

Every now and then, I read something in the press that really gets me going. Recently, it was this piece in the Red Herring, titled "Forget Moore's Law." The author's sensationalistic thesis was that the current shift from the "bigger, faster, hotter" do-everything-on-one-chip computing paradigm to a more distributed "smaller, cheaper, cooler" networked computing paradigm somehow represents a denunciation of Moore's Law on the part of the computing industry. This is, of course, complete bunk. Unfortunately, it's an increasingly common flavor of bunk that's being propagated in the press in light of some very real trends in computing. (To the Red Herring author's credit, the trends he points out are real. It's his mangling of Moore's Law that I object to.) | ||
