Peter Cochrane's Blog: A petabyte before I die...
Comment Gordon Moore's 1965 observation that the density of transistors on integrated circuits - and hence to some extent computational power - would double every 24 months seemed correct for quite a while. And Moore-type laws seem to apply to data storage... [14 May 2008]
How tech can make us greener
Comment It's fuelled by Moore's Law of transistor density and Metcalf's Law of networks, both of which drive the vicious circle of smaller, faster and more, more, more machines. Though IT is often blamed for not being 'green' enough, there are plenty of... [24 May 2007]
CIOs lack skills for growth
Comment This is brought about by three forces - namely faster-and-cheaper computers (Moore's Law), pervasive connectivity (Metcalf's Law) and greater bandwidth speed (Bandwidth Law). Organisations are increasingly waking up to the power and potential of... [04 May 2007]
Peter Cochrane's Blog: Is there nothing new in IT?
Comment As best we can estimate, ICT progress - in terms of chip technology - may well hit the end of the road (often referred to as Moore's Wall) around 2015 to 2018. A journalist just asked me if I could think of any really stunning advances in ICT... [20 Nov 2006]
Why AMD is putting its chips in one basket
Comment Under Moore's Law, the number of transistors on a chip should double every two years. Because Moore's Law never sleeps. silicon.com sister site CNET News.com's Michael Kanellos explains the key to the deal is a move towards integrated chipsets. [25 Jul 2006]
Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Looking back from 2020
Comment Turns out Gordon Moore (of Moore's Law and Moore's Wall fame) was more than right. With this column, Peter Cochrane and silicon.com are pleased to announce the winners of our competition for the best 'Uncommon Sense' idea. [16 Dec 2004]
Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: A sea of bits
Comment It seems that Moore's Law has migrated to storage. The affordability and ever increasing capacity of data storage is affecting all aspects of business and daily life. Peter Cochrane predicts what's coming next and what sort of changes will occur... [20 Oct 2004]
Steve Ballmer Q&A: Microsoft CEO on security, piracy, licensing and the digital future
Comment The two big drivers are Moore's Law and innovation in software - which is where we come in. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer hosted a Q&A session for a handful of UK journalists in London on Sunday and silicon.com was there. [05 Oct 2004]
The Weekly Round-Up: 30.07.04
Round-Up Moore's Law means different things to different people. However, as a result of Moore's Law, which states that the number of transistors on a chip doubles about every 24 months, radio telescopes are currently doubling in performance approximately... [30 Jul 2004]
Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: All the world in your shirt pocket
Comment To put it mildly the disk storage boys are on a roll creating denser storage capacities well ahead of Moore’s Law for the Integrated Circuit. On several occasions in print and during presentations I have made the observation that soon we will be... [26 Feb 2004]
Devil's Advocate: More to Moore's Law
Comment But familiarity disguises the extent to which the story of Moore's Law is far more tortuous than we commonly imagine. Moore had also pushed the doubling period out from one year to two. Everyone thinks they are familiar with Moore's Law - you know... [20 Jan 2004]
Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Not so wonderful spam
Comment It is difficult to be specific in terms of growth rate but it is exponential and seems to be doubling every 18 months - just like Moore’s Law! Is it time to start spamming the spammers? Peter Cochrane thinks so, given current levels of nuisance... [12 Jun 2003]
Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Intelligent machines
Comment At some point we will hit the physical limits currently designated as Moore's Wall. Beyond 2020 and Moore's Wall we see a lot of uncertainty but an even bigger range of options than today - and far more technology riches than we have enjoyed to... [17 Apr 2003]
'And another thing, Gates...' - Microsoft and its MVPs
Comment Microsoft's goal is to be "more open" with these early technology adopters "in a much more proactive way", said Lorie Moore, Microsoft's corporate vice president for product support services. One example is some Outlook Express issues that we've... [14 Feb 2003]
The Bloor Perspective: Going private, nano-disks and CA's new flexibility
Comment The reason for excitement is that the experts believe they will be able to miniaturise the whole mechanism as time passes and thus 'Moore's Law for disks' will continue to apply for five or six generations of the technology (between 32 and 64... [31 Jan 2003]
