increased at a rate of roughly a factor of two per year...
Certainly over the short term this rate can be expected to
continue, if not to increase. Over the longer term, the rate of
increase is a bit more uncertain, although there is no reason to
believe it will not remain nearly constant for at least 10 years. That
means by 1975, the number of components per integrated circuit for
minimum cost will be 65,000. I believe that such a large circuit can be
built on a single wafer." - Gordon Moore, Founder of Intel Corporation
