This will happen to the whole tech industry. Once people realise that Moores law is dead. Intel is just the beginning and „A.I.“ will not safe them.
Intel also released two generations of CPUs that just die under heavy loads.
Seems pretty alive to me.
If I got a snickers every time I heard moore law is dead I'd be obese.
Any moment now, any moment.
It is dead.
The only reason it seems like it's not is because AMD server CPUs are just getting physically larger and larger
Check out 3D stacked ram for example. Moores law isn't about some size measure.
And now I have to eat another snickers...
It's literally defined as the number of transistors doubling in a chip. It doesn't at all mention the size or density.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore%27s_law
Well yes exactly.
Edit: you just showed the law is still alive and kicking:
Fair enough.
Though if density is irrelevant then the entire thing is meaningless.
Should instead be talking about how large of a silicon wafer can be produced.
Or something like CPU power per dollar, but that's just me.
As every gambler knows: A trend is your friend.
And we live in a casino economy.
Sure it'll stop one day but that day is not today.
You seriously think we're going to slow down on infrastructure?
The effort required to keep increasing resistors in a chip is just too high at some point. And the power required to run all the chips is becoming unsustainable. Besides that, hardware companies are way over valued if you look at earnings / market cap
source: made it up
If you don't know the difference between a resistor and a transistor, I'm not taking your advice on semiconductor companies
Don't worry, companies found a way to get around Moore's law: Buy more systems and build more datacenters.

If you can tell what the person means, there's no reason to publicly correct their spelling or grammar.
Hard disagree. Common mistakes ruin grammar because other people will adopt these. And when written language becomes ambiguous due to people not using proper grammar, that's a very important foundation of "words have no meaning" fuzziness employed by populists, and in effect dumbs down people.
I said "publicly." I wasn't commenting on the fact that you corrected someone, but the fact you did so publicly.
The mistake is public. This is where people see it and should also see the correction. The fact that you get your knickers in a twist over a simple word correction, is worrysome. It's not like I said "lol u so dumb OP".
I'm no doctor, but you may want to check these out.
But how else will I feel superior to a stranger on the internet?
