"Maximizing Moore's Law: Advancements in 3D Integration for Computer Chips"

Penn State researchers have demonstrated a breakthrough in 3D integration of semiconductors using 2D transistors made with 2D semiconductors, offering a solution to the limitations of Moore's Law. This approach not only allows for more silicon-based transistors on a computer chip but also enables the use of transistors made from 2D materials to incorporate diverse functionalities within various layers of the stack. The researchers achieved monolithic 3D integration at a massive scale, characterizing tens of thousands of devices, bridging the gap between academia and industry and potentially advancing the semiconductor industry.

The Power of Huang's Law: Engineers Fueling Chip Speedup

NVIDIA's "Huang's Law" has been the driving force behind the company's 1000x chip speedup in less than a decade, surpassing the limitations of Moore's Law. While chip shrinking only accounted for a 2.5x performance gain, NVIDIA's focus on innovation within individual "stacks" and the introduction of architectures like Hopper and Ampere, along with technologies like NVLINK, led to the significant performance increase. NVIDIA's Chief Scientist, Bill Dally, emphasizes that the future of the company depends on Huang's Law and the industry's approach to chip and computing development.

Intel's Groundbreaking Glass Substrates Pave the Way for Future Chip Advancements

Intel has announced a breakthrough in the development of glass substrates for chip packaging, aiming to advance Moore's Law. The use of glass substrates will enable Intel to create larger chip packages, allowing for more chips to be fitted into a single electrical package. By the end of the decade, Intel foresees packaging 30 trillion transistors on a glass substrate, along with other innovations such as 3D stacking of chips. Glass substrates offer advantages such as enhanced thermal and mechanical stability, higher interconnect density, and improved power delivery, making them suitable for data-intensive applications like AI. Intel plans to introduce comprehensive glass substrate solutions to the market in the latter half of this decade, ensuring the continuation of Moore's Law beyond 2030.

"The Future of Computing: Microsoft's Light-Based Breakthrough Signals the End of Moore's Law"

Microsoft is making significant progress in photon computing technology with its Analog Iterative Machine (AIM), which uses photons and electrons to process continuous value data instead of binary data. AIM has the ability to solve complex optimization problems efficiently and at the speed of light. By combining optical and electronic analog technologies, AIM sidesteps the limitations of digital chips and challenges the traditional notion of Moore's Law.

AMD CEO Lisa Su Talks Future of Moore's Law and Chip Technology

AMD CEO, Dr. Lisa Su, states that Moore's Law is not dead but has slowed down and things need to be done differently to overcome the performance, efficiency, and cost challenges. AMD has been the pioneer of advancing 3D packaging and chiplet technology with its first HBM designs back in 2015, chiplet processors in 2017, and also the first 3D packaging on a chip with its 3D V-Cache design in 2022. AMD is already working with 3nm as of right now and that they are also looking at 2nm and beyond that.

Intel Co-Founder and 'Moore's Law' Author Gordon Moore Dies at 94.

Gordon Moore, the co-founder of Intel and pioneer of the tech industry, has passed away at the age of 94. Moore is best known for his observation known as Moore's Law, which predicted that the number of transistors on an integrated circuit would double every year. He was also a member of the "traitorous eight" who left Shockley Semiconductor to form Fairchild Semiconductor, and later founded Intel with Robert Noyce. Moore's philanthropic efforts included establishing the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, which has donated over $5.1 billion to charitable causes.

Intel Co-Founder and 'Moore's Law' Author Gordon Moore Dies at 94

Gordon E. Moore, co-founder and former chairman of Intel Corporation, has died at the age of 94. Moore was responsible for predicting in the 1960s that the number of transistors that could be placed on a silicon chip would double at regular intervals, thus increasing the data-processing power of computers exponentially, a prediction that became known as Moore's Law. He was also instrumental in bringing laptop computers to millions of people and embedding microprocessors into everyday items. Moore's legacy extends beyond Intel, as he and his wife created the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, which has given away more than $5 billion since its founding.

Intel Co-Founder Gordon Moore Passes Away at 94.

Gordon Moore, the co-founder of Intel and the man who predicted the growth of the semiconductor industry with his famous observation known as "Moore's Law," has died at the age of 94. Moore's Law stated that the capacity and complexity of integrated circuits would double every year, becoming a standard for the tech industry's progress and innovation. Moore later became known for his philanthropy when he and his wife established the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, which focuses on environmental conservation, science, patient care, and projects in the San Francisco Bay area.

Intel Co-Founder Gordon Moore Dies at 94, Leaving Legacy of 'Moore's Law'

Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel and creator of "Moore's Law," has passed away at 94. He and Robert Noyce founded Intel in 1968, and Moore's prediction that the number of transistors on an integrated circuit would double every year proved accurate. Moore served as CEO and chairman of the board at Intel before stepping down in 2006 and establishing the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation with $5 billion in funding. The foundation supported environmental conservation efforts and donated to science and technology departments at educational institutions.

Intel Co-Founder and 'Moore's Law' Creator Gordon E. Moore Passes Away at 94

Gordon E. Moore, co-founder of Intel and creator of Moore's Law, has died at the age of 94. Moore was a pioneer in the creation of the integrated circuit and helped put the silicon in Silicon Valley. He was known for his blend of technical and financial risk-taking, which guided Intel to become one of the greatest technological powerhouses of the 20th century. Moore's Law, which predicted that the number of transistors on a chip would double every 18 to 24 months, became the credo of the electronic world and a slogan of the digerati eagerly awaiting the next great thing.

Intel Co-Founder Gordon Moore Passes Away at 94

Gordon E. Moore, co-founder of Intel and a pioneer in the design and manufacture of semiconductor chips, died at the age of 94. Moore famously predicted in 1965 that computer power would double each year for a decade, a forecast he modified in the mid-1970s to every two years, which became known as Moore's Law. He was a central figure in the history of electronics and his innovations helped launch Silicon Valley. Moore's Law became the driving force in computer technology for the next half-century, and Intel led the rapid advance.
