New chips bring new programming
14 April, 2009 by Jeff Meisel*Moore’s Law, which states that the number of transistors on a chip doubles every 18 to 24 months, still holds as true as it has for the last 40 years, but it no longer translates into a linear increase in performance. Previously, chip manufacturers increased processor clock speed to double chip performance — from 100 to 200 MHz and more recently into the multi-gigahertz (GHz) range.
