GPUs to Run 1000 Times Faster by 2025 - Huang

The CEO being referred to is NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) co-founder Jensen Huang, and he verbalized his insights on Moore's Law (and life after it) during the recently concluded Computex 2017 event held in Taipei. Moore's Law, named after Intel co-founder Gordon Moore, is based on Moore's observation that because the size of transistors was shrinking so rapidly, the number of transistors that could fit per square inch on integrated circuits seemed to double every year since they were invented. Moore's prediction is that such trend will continue into the future. And although the pace may have slowed down, the number of transistors that could fit per square inch did continue to increase, doubling not every year but after every 18 months instead. With this exponential growth, computers became twice as powerful, benefiting not just the consumers but the device manufacturers as well. This went on for awhile (as predicted).
