Moore's Law

Moore's Law is an empirical observation formulated in 1965 by Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel, which states that the number of transistors on integrated circuits — and with it, computational performance — approximately doubles every 18 to 24 months, while manufacturing costs halve. This principle guided the development pace of the semiconductor industry for decades, ensuring the exponential growth of hardware resources, which was an essential prerequisite for running today's complex AI models. Although the law's validity is now debated due to reaching physical limits, its role as an economic and technological driving force laid the foundation for modern information society infrastructure.
