This new design trend is driven by systemic complexity. As the ability to scale a single chip slows, the industry is finding other methods of innovation to maintain exponential growth. Rather, the explosion of hyperconnectivity, big data, and artificial intelligence applications has increased the pace of innovation and the need for “Moore’s law-style” improvements in delivered technology.įor many years, scale complexity drove Moore’s law and the semiconductor industry’s exponential technology growth. The pace of technology innovation is NOT slowing down, however. While Moore’s law is still delivering exponential improvements, the results are being delivered at a slower pace. The slowing of Moore’s law has prompted many to ask, “Is Moore’s law finally ending? This, in fact, is not occurring.
