Lmao, for fucks sake is Moore's Law dead or not? No one seems to agree anywhere. The only thing i know is that quantum mechanics is gonna fuck up any more transistor density very soon.
Moore's Law should work under "normal circumstances" but ...
what if the world population & economy is shrinking? birth control, miscarriages, abortions + diseases, major man-made or natural disasters killing millions of people, etc?
Or there's stagnation in the industry due to rare earth metal rarity/competition, monopolies, rampant flaws/exploits in chip design, incremental releases/planned obsolescence...
The graphic I linked shows that it's actually been pretty accurate so far, or at least way more than I thought. I agree the market's too restrictive to allow proper growth though
