Nvidia's CEO says moore's law is dead
Table of contents:
Current NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has become the latest personality to take Moore's law for granted. During a recent talk at the GPU Technology conference in Beijing, China, the NVIDIA executive said that the advancement in graphics processors could mean the replacement of CPUs by GPUs.
Moore's law is dead, according to NVIDIA CEO
For those unfamiliar with this matter, Moore's Law is the name given to an observation made by Intel co-founder Gordon Moore in 1965. Specifically, Moore said the number of transistors for every square centimeter of an integrated circuit doubles every year, and predicted that this trend would continue in the future. Later he assured that as a general rule, the speed of GPUs doubles every two years.
However, the current CEO of the company said he is one of the first executives of a large semiconductor company to announce the death of Moore's law. In his opinion, the current capabilities of GPUs are advancing at a faster rate than represented by Moore's observations.
Huang says that while CPU transistors have grown at a rate of about 50% each year, their performance has grown by only 10 percent. In addition, it ensures that designers have it increasingly difficult to take out advanced architectures for CPUs, so that processors could be replaced by GPUs, which give much more game and possibilities.
Likewise, the NVIDIA CEO said that the company's GPUs are the perfect solution for applications based on artificial intelligence, and that in the near future graphics cards could play a greater role in certain aspects of computing.
On the other hand, the CEO of Intel, Brian Krzanich, has another opinion in this regard, as reflected in a statement made by him last year:
"In my 34 years in the semiconductor industry, they have announced the death of Moore's Law up to four times. As we move from 14 nanometer technology to 10 nanometer and then 7 to 5 nanometer, our plan is to demonstrate that Moore's law is still in place. ”

We explain what Moore's Law means and its importance in modern computing. Although there are many people who think that it is already obsolete, we give a brief review of its past, present and future.
Intel assures that 'the law of moore' is not dead and that they will prove it
The big title of the Intel talk was: 'Moore's law is not dead, but if you think so, you are stupid,' they said.
