Ah Moore's law is daed. I seem to recal seeing articles like that every year for the last 15 years. I fully expect to see another one a year from now saying Moore's law officially dead in 2017 |
The first consumer 14 nm cpu was launched by Intel in september 2014. Now here we are in september 2016, 2 years later (the infamous time span in which the distance of a transistar gate is supposed to be halved according to Moore's law!) and CPUs are still using 14 nm transistors. And Intel's upcoming Kaby Lake CPUs that are releaseing late this year and early 2017 (different parts of the lineup) will still be using 14 nm transistors. It won't be until Intel's Cannon Lake CPUs, launcing in late 2017-early 2018 that we will see a smaller node, at 10 nm, three years after the first 14 nm CPUs. And 10 nm is not half of 14 nm. It's quite a bit more than half of 14 nm, which would be 7 nm. So uhhh yeah, Moore's law is dead as fuck by now. But you don't have to believe me if you don't want to
