Question

The prediction that the number of transistors on a chip would double about every two years is known as ________. Metcalfe's law Megan's law Moore's law Murphy's law Ashby's law

Answer 1

Answer:

Moore's law

Explanation:

The Moore’s law which was named after the pioneer, Gordon Moore, predicted that the number of transistors on a chip would double about every two years. This law is one of the reasons why computers became so powerful. These transistors and chips are used to make mathematical calculations and in 1965, Gordon made an observation and forecasted that the number of transistors that can be placed in any ICs doubles approximately every two years. Moore was so convinced about this prediction that he went on to co-found the biggest chips processor; INTEL. This trend has been accurate since then but has started to slow down from 2013.
