Computer scientist: For several decades, the number of transistors on new computer microchips, and hence the microchips' computing speed, has doubled about every 18 months. ████████ ████ ███ █████████ ████ ███ ████ ███████ ████ ████ ████████ ██ █ ███████████ █████████ █████ ███ ███████████ ██ █ ████████ ██ ███ ████ ██ █████████ ████ ██████████
Summary
For several decades, the number of transistors on computer microchips has doubled every 18 months.
For several decades, microchips’ computing speed has also doubled every 18 months.
From the mid-1990s into the next decade, the cost of producing a microchip doubled each time the microchip’s computing speed doubled.
Very Strongly Supported Conclusions
From the mid-1990s into the next decade, the cost of producing a microchip doubled every 18 months.
From the mid-1990s into the next decade, the cost of producing a microchip doubled each time the number of transistors on a microchip doubled.
