In the version of Moore's Law usually taught today, what doubles about every two years?
Moore's Law describes transistor counts doubling about every two years. What kind of growth is this?
A student says, “Moore's Law means computers themselves double in size every two years.” Which correction is accurate?
What time interval is most associated with the modern classroom version of Moore's Law?
A chip has 1 billion transistors in 2010. If its transistor count doubles about every two years, how many transistors would it have in 2016?
A processor contains 500 million transistors. After one two-year doubling period, what count does the trend predict?
In 2014, a chip has 2 billion transistors. If the count doubles about every two years, what is the predicted count in 2020?
A design starts with 4 million transistors. After four years of doubling every two years, what count is predicted?
A chip's transistor count rises from 3 billion to 24 billion under a two-year doubling pattern. How much time has passed?
Which claim is NOT made by Moore's Law?
Why is it inaccurate to call Moore's Law a law of physics?
A poster says, “Moore's Law guarantees that every phone's storage capacity will double every two years.” What is the best correction?
A student claims that chip companies can obey Moore's Law simply by deciding to do so. What is the problem with that claim?
A modern phone can edit a high-resolution video while also running other apps. Which change most directly helped make this practical in a pocket-sized device?
Why did live video calls become practical on pocket devices as computing power increased?
Which task most clearly needed much greater compact computing power than a basic calculator?
A navigation app updates a route while showing a moving map and responding to spoken directions. What makes this possible on a smartphone?
Why has the transistor-doubling trend slowed as chip features become extremely small?
What is one physical reason transistor counts cannot double forever at the same rate?
When a chip packs more transistors into a small area, why can heat become a limiting problem?
