The end of Moore’s law will not slow the pace of change

But decades of success have not quelled the industry’s jitters over the end of Moore’s maxim. In 2017 Jensen Huang, boss of Nvidia, now the world’s most valuable chip company, declared that the law was dead. In June, Pat Gelsinger, chief executive of Intel, the firm that Mr Moore co-founded, insisted that the law was “alive and well”. This Technology Quarterly has argued that if not dead, Moore’s law is on life support.
