Is Moore's Law Ending?

Moore's Law has given us exponential improvements in computer technology for many decades, benefiting everything from astrophysics to iPhones, but is it about to end? Jamie Teherani a Columbia Professor of Electrical Engineering, swung by the Cool Worlds Lab to explain what Moore's Law is all about and predict it's future.

Do you think a new type of computing will eventually replace semi-conductor chips and continue Moore's law?

So... 'Is Moore's law no more?'

First..even if we reach a limit of transistors on chips…we will stack chips. Then…we will find other ways to represent logic gates, such as electron spin and the emergent quantum state computer. It will never stop.

[THX..]

IMO Moore's law has only slowed due to 2008 depression. We are even as I type this at roughly 22% actual unemployment in the USA 9 years later. When people are unemployed or otherwise economically challenged they don't buy new computers. Which means cpu makers make less money which means they spend less on R&D and bring new chips to market slower. Should the economy improve over the next few years I suspect Moore's law will resume it's pace for at least the next few decades.

I hoped you would talk about Graphene tubes to overcome the atom migration also Ai will be able to outsmart humans very soon opening up ideas we thought were impossible to overcome. Also Ai giving us solutions we never even though of.
Ai will be as smart as humans within 10 yrs from now and then Ai will be many times smarter than the entire human race combined very soon after this, maybe even months or weeks after General Intelligence has been achieved. Alpha Zero beet Alpha Go 100/1 which beat the best human playing the ancient Chinese game Go. It only took 3yrs for all this to happen.
'Go' being the most complex game ever created with many many trillions of moves possible. Alpha Go and Zero taught themselves how to play the game which just blows my mind. The rate of development is far faster than Moore's Law and it will continue to get faster until it reaches the singularity which we may not be able to control. Even if the developed western world takes every precaution it only takes a rogue nation or a communist regime like the CCP to cause so much damage to our world.

I don't really worried about this. we already have very powerful computers. Just look at any science fiction out there, spaceships, robots, AI, cyborg... the raw processing power to make them happen, already exists. It's just a matter of software and other innovations to actually build them. Faster CPUs are not a holding back factor in most cases.

Do you think we NEED more devices and internet as a species it the real question.
