Moore's Law has slowed down from the traditional 2 to 3 year pace, but it's not dead yet, Intel's CEO says
by
Moore 's Law, proposed by Gordon Moore in 1965, states that ``semiconductor integration density will double every 18 to 24 months, and even if chip performance doubles, further miniaturization will continue.'' It has been pointed out in recent years that the law no longer holds true due to technological impasses. However, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger has acknowledged that the pace of Moore's Law is slowing down, but insists that the number of transistors is still doubling in a given period of time.

Moore's Law, proposed by Moore in 1965, states that the number of transistors in a processor doubles every year. However, as the pace of development in the semiconductor industry has slowed in recent years, various people, including NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, have pointed out that ``Moore's law has collapsed.''
On the other hand, Mr. Gelsinger emphasizes the attitude that ``Moore's law is alive and well,'' and Intel believes that ``it is possible to exceed the pace of Moore's law until at least 2031.'' In addition, Intel is promoting ``Moore's Law 2.0,'' which increases the number of transistors by using technologies such as backside power supply technology ``PowerVia.''
When asked about the possibility of Moore's Law collapsing in a lecture given at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Gelsinger said, ``It was 30 to 40 years ago that people started thinking that Moore's Law was collapsing. 'The golden age of Moore's Law is long gone, but the number of transistors is still effectively doubling every three years.'
Gelsinger also said, ``When we were able to double the number of transistors every two years, it was enough to develop a new node, but with the latest process nodes, development times are increasing, especially for
Still, Gelsinger said, ``In order to counter critics who say Moore's Law is broken, we are developing more chips.'' The goal is to pack in as many transistors as possible.
On the other hand, Mr. Gelsinger said, ``The development of the chip announced around 2015 cost about 10 billion dollars (about 1.4 trillion yen).Now it costs about 20 billion dollars (about 2.4 trillion yen) to develop the chip. 800 billion yen), and the economic situation surrounding Intel is undergoing major changes.'
