In 1965, Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel, made a prediction about the future of computer processing. What does his prediction, known as Moore's Law, say?
AAs technology continues to advance, computer chips will become obsolete
BComputer processing power will double every 18 months to two years ✓ Correct
CThere will eventually be no need for transistors in high-tech electronics
DAs the number of transistors increases, computer processing power will be reduced by half every two years
Correct answer: (B) Computer processing power will double every 18 months to two years
Explanation
Moore's Law predicts that computer processing power doubles roughly every eighteen months to two years.
It grew from the observation that the transistor count on a chip keeps rising.
The idea that chips will become obsolete is not what Moore stated.
A future with no need for transistors contradicts the law entirely.
Halving of power as transistors increase reverses the actual trend.
The law has guided expectations for the electronics industry for decades.
