Have not checked lately but Moore’s law used to work well.
“Have not checked lately but Moore’s law used to work well.”
Moore’s law is an economic law, not a scientific law. As such, it is very susceptible to Brandonomics - inflation, supply chain issues, demand for increasing function, highly skilled labor shortages... These days with ASML EUV aligners going for $100M the increasing number of aligners that are required in the process and the lead time for these aligners exceeding 12 months due to parts shortages, I don’t expect Moore’s law to hold. I don’t know for sure if GF or STM uses EUV yet, but the same thing holds for the thousands of other semiconductor equipment used to make these chips.
