Multicore, Extending The End of Moore's Law

"Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong"

- Augustus De Morgan aka Murphy, Mathematician

"The complexity for minimum component costs has

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
