Moore's Law

c'mon media, it's not that complicated...

So over the years I've noticed something with the media. They dumb down everything. This includes especially technology. Well at Blue's News this morning I was pointed to an article at Ars Technica that explains and elaborates on the missconception that Moore's Law involves processor power, ie. MHz/GHz.

"The number of transistors per chip that yields the minimum cost per transistor has increased at a rate of roughly a factor of two per year."

The article explains how Moore's Law is multifaceted, and in basic terms discussed transistor quantity and chip cost. If you're interested in getting a firmer grasp on these concepts I suggest you head on over and read this article.
