But the basic idea—the exponential growth of the price-performance of electronics based on shrinking the size of transistors on an integrated circuit—was both valid and prescient.2 Today, we talk about billions of components rather than thousands. In the most advanced chips of 2004, logic gates are only fifty nanometers wide, already well within the realm of nanotechnology (which deals with measurements of one hundred nanometers or less). The demise of Moore’s Law has been predicted on a regular basis, but the end of this remarkable paradigm keeps getting pushed out in time.
