Moore's Law 40th Anniversary with Gordon Moore

[Recorded Sept 29, 2005]
2005 marks the 40th anniversary of Moore's Law, Gordon E. Moore's 1965 observation and prediction about the exponential growth in the power of semiconductor technology. Moore observed that semiconductor technology had doubled in power every year and predicted that it would continue along this developmental path. Originally named Moore's Law several years later by the physicist Carver Mead, that simple observation has proven to be the bulwark of the world's most remarkable industry. In 1975, Moore updated this to a doubling about every two years. History has thus far proven Moore's law correct, and this special conversation between Moore and Mead looks back on the past 40 years on what has made this electronics revolution possible.

look at wiki However, the 2010 update to the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors has growth slowing at the end of 2013,[5] after which time transistor counts and densities are to double only every 3 years.

I thought it was "G.E. Moore."

But then again, I am a philosopher.
