Gene Law restricts Moore's Law to a halt
Gene Frantz that the energy efficiency per function of integrated circuits doubles ever 18 months, akin to Moore's Law.
After two decades of dramatic improvements in the energy efficiency of circuits, the semiconductor industry will need to explore new circuit structures, architectures, materials and other items to continue to keep pace, according to a panel of experts at the International Solid-State Circuits Conference.
BAD HARDWARE: Ever heard of memory wall ? The Holy Grail we are aiming for is a system only using power when needed," Magarshack said. "That's not possible with today's tools and models.
