How, When, and Why Moore’s Law Will Finally Collapse

One day , Moore ’s Law will no longer hold dependable . This principle says computer king doubles every 18 month . But just how will it give down ? And when ? In the video above , theoretic physicist Michio Kaku explains that it will fall aside in about a decennary , and narrate just what might happen .

He say that computer powerfulness just can not proceed to increase at this rate . And that presents a job , being that the limits of Si will be reached soon . Once Pentium chip get down to 5 nanometers , they ’ll simply overheat . consequently , we ’ll have to find replacement for them . For now , we have dual - heart processers , to seek to avail facilitate the problem , but finally , they wo n’t be of any help .

However , there are some alternatives in the works in the flesh of different types of computers — protein , DNA , optical , molecular , or quantum machines . Though Kaku believes Moore ’s Law will be adjust as it slows down , through things like three - dimensional or ocular chips or even parallel processing . The good news is , there ’s still about 10 age to figure it out . [ big thinkviaGeek ]
