People misunderstand Moore&#x27;s Law a lot. If it had been called Moore&#x27;s Target its real world usage would be much clearer. In other words, whilst it started as an observation about the rate of improvement in semiconductor manufacturing, it then became a target to work towards, which helped the industry grow in lockstep.<p>However, Moore&#x27;s Law is clearly dying, despite what Intel wants to claim. The gaps between new process nodes is increasing, which is far more important than transistor count, as this is also affected by how large you make the silicon that holds your transistors.
