Not sure if this is the right spot to bring it up, but I think it’s important to acknowledge it here in the hardware section. We've chatted a lot about Moore's Law over the years, like how fast we can push chips and if we’d eventually hit a limit in size and speed. He helped start Intel and was genuinely a brilliant guy. Honestly, I think he did more for integrated circuits than anyone else. Rest in peace, Gordon. -Dave

He is co-founding Intel I mean this man was a revolutionary despite his law Moore's Law is no longer relevant. But still this guy was the father of Chip. Well the only thing to say right now is Rest In Peace Mr. Gordon Moore

RIP, I thought his prediction laws were no longer applicable to the current advances. Maybe I was wrong.🤔

No they aren't (and never were) 'Laws' They completely ignored physics limitations.

yeah they were more of a way to dumb down speed increases in processing. but much like a car and a gallon of gas there is a limit to how much you can increase efficiency. Ie no standard gas burning car will get 1000 miles to the gallon. and no asic miner will do 1 watt per th for the sha 256 algo. as for 1000 miles a gallon or 1 watt per th being impossible limits that wont be met we can call it Phil’s Law.😀
