Moore’s ‘law’

I hate it when people quote Moore’s Law like it’s an inevitable law of nature.

Moore’s Law is an observation made many years ago that is currently being used as a standard for how what time frame hardware manufacturers should release updates to the number of transistors in their products.

It’s not like every two years a new discovery is made that allow transistors to become twice as small. The research has already been done years previously and Moore is just explaining the release cycle.
