📖 Description

It seems to be a minority view nowadays to believe in Moore's Law, the routine doubling of transistor density roughly every couple of years, or even the much gentler claim, that [There's Plenty [more] Room at the Bottom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/There%27s_Plenty_of_Room_at_the_Bottom). There's even a quip for it: *the number of people predicting the death of Moore's law doubles every two years*. This is not merely a populist view by the uninformed. Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, a GPU company, has talked about Moore's Law failing.
