I'm trying to understand if Moore's Law, which predicts the doubling of transistors on integrated circuits every two years, is still applicable in today's technological landscape or if it has become obsolete.
The ongoing process of miniaturizing chips is pushing the boundaries of technology.

As we strive to create smaller and more efficient chips, we will inevitably encounter fundamental limitations.

James R. Powell, a renowned expert in the field, conducted calculations to predict the impact of these limitations.

According to Powell's calculations, the uncertainty principle will Render Moore's Law obsolete by the year 2036. Moore's Law, which has been a guiding principle for the semiconductor industry, states that the number of transistors on a chip will double approximately every two years.

One such limitation is Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, which governs the precision of measurements at the quantum level.
