> Moore’s law…. not a new concept

Maybe so but this is recent info from an ehgineer who’s responsible for designing those chips. Just thought it might help others.

I believe the point of the post is that there may be a physical or technical development problem in producing the next generation chip on schedule.

Which would, in such a case, serve to invalidate Moore’s Law.

Moore himself had revised his own law once (some say twice) about 10 years after it was first introduced, and attributed to him by others, as a concept in the mid-60s. Also, Moore was simply supporting the ideas of a few other engineers of the 50s and 60s. Moore’s quotes gained popularity and thus, it became known as his law.
