The Moore's law is a rule of thumb that gives an idea of the processors that a company can expect to produce with time.
Response:
- Based on Moore's law the vice president's statement predicting the number of transistors in a processor in 2026 is correct.
<h3 /><h3>Detailed reasons for the above response</h3>
Based on online search, the minimum transistor count data in 2014 = 1,400,000,000
Moore's Law states that the number of transistors in an integrated circuit is expected to multiply by a factor of 2 every two years.
Mathematically, we have;
Where:
Pₙ = The processing power of a computer in future years
P₀ = Processing power of a computer at the start of the current year
n = The number of years divided by 2
The expected processing power in 2026 is therefore;
n = (2026 - 2014) = 12 ÷ 2 = 6
P₆ = 1,400,000,000 × 2⁶ = 89,600,000,000 = 8.96 × 10¹⁰
The given number of neurons in a human brain = 1.0 × 10¹¹
The difference = 1.0 × 10¹¹ - 8.96 × 10¹⁰ = 1.04 × 10¹⁰
- The difference is less than 1/8 of the expected transistor count, therefore, the vice president's statement can be taken as correct.
