The Future of Processors - The End of Moore's Law

In this video, I talk about the end of Moore's Law and what it means for the future of computing. While there is a bit of speculation in the video, everything is factual and I'll include sources in the description below.

Moore's Law: The idea that every 1-2 years, the amount of transistors in processors will double. Gordon Moore himself has stated that Moore's Law will likely end by 2025 at the latest.

Different lithography processes are the reason Moore's Law can't keep up; transistors cannot get smaller without having unprecedented effects on CPU functionality.

Note (as of December 8, 2020): This video was made prior to the unconfirmed leak that AMD is reintroducing ARM K12 in January 2021. We'll just have to wait for CES to see if the rumors are true. If so, this would mean a lot for the future of computing, with AMD being main competitor against Apple, Samsung and Qualcomm. This competition could potentially be what ARM needs to make its way into desktops. Needless to say, it's an exciting time for computing.

This video was made for my Computer Science 462 class, Parallel Programming. It was also polished enough that I wanted to upload it to my main channel. Yes, I pronounced Krste Asanović wrong, I know. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I am interested in this topic but your microphone needs to be upgraded (look at Rode Podcaster with a Zoom H4N Recorder if you are on a tight budget, if you have more budget an Electro-Voice RE 20 with a Sound Design Recorder & use a pop filter with both), you need to cut down the volume of the background music by at least half -3 - -6 dB (or better eliminate it altogether, we are here to listen to you not music). Also do some post-recording audio processing to DeEss the strong sibilance. I don’t mean to be harsh, I did professional audio-video editing for 15 years and the audio is getting in the way of your message. Also it may be the microphone or it could be the room but it sounds like a very active room with lots of sound reflections just make sure you are not speaking straight into a bank of glass windows or in a room with a lot of glass as that increases sound bouncing. If you have no choice about the room you must record in consider heavy drapes to cover the window and acoustic foam tiles. If you cannot permanently modify the room by putting up acoustic tiles (as is sometimes the case if you are renting) consider portable acoustic walls like the Auralex Max Wall that sets up temporarily on stands.

Weren't the PowerPC chips developed by IBM and Motorola RISC chips?
