Moores Law Finance Definition
A
law that states that the number of chips on a transistor, and thus the
transistors computing power, will double about every two or three years. The
law also states that this increase in computing ability will not require an
equivalent increase in cost. The law is named after Gordon Moore, a pioneer in
the semiconductor industry, who articulated his theory in 1965. He was one of
the founders of Fairchild Semiconductor in 1957, but left that firm with other
colleagues to co-found Intel Corp. in 1968. To date, Moores law has held true.
