&gt; Moore&#x27;s law, the principle that has powered the information-technology revolution since the 1960s, is nearing its end.<p>I don&#x27;t understand why people keep saying Moore&#x27;s law will end soon... as if it&#x27;s a forecast. I just checked an online site for cpus and the fastest one available was at 3.7 GHZ. It was maybe 3.2 GHZ two years ago. In 2001, I bought a computer that ran at 1 GHZ. That&#x27;s 15 years ago! Moore&#x27;s law is usually defined as doubling every 18 months. Even if we stretched it to every 24 months, we should be at well over 100 GHZ. Even if we account for the 4 cores, it&#x27;s still not happening.<p>What am I missing here? It seems like Moore&#x27;s law has been dead for years. Please don&#x27;t tell me about experimental cpus that are faster or theoretical processors. Moore&#x27;s law is defined as speed increases while the price stays the same. What matters is what cpus are available to consumers.
