Less is Moore's

from We Have Concerns Hosted by Jeff Cannata/Anthony Carboni

Moore's Law states that every 2 years the number of transistors on a chip will double. But some scientists predict that in just 10 years, we will hit the upper limit of Moore's Law. Anthony and Jeff wonder what the will happen if we get to the end of the Law and suggest a few ways we might outsmart this presumptive limit. We Have Concerns is entirely listener supported!
