2024 Marks the End of Moore’s Law
- Moore’s law, the guiding concept in computing, is an observation made by Intel co-founder Gordon Moore.
- NVIDIA unveiled the next-gen Blackwell GPU at NVIDIA GTC 2024, bidding adieu to the era of Moore’s Law.
- The International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors shifted its focus in 2016 to a ‘More than Moore’ strategy.
- AMD CTO Mark Papermaster believes that Moore’s Law will remain relevant for another 6-8 years.
- Intel has acknowledged the challenges posed by physical limitations as transistors approach atomic scales and reflected a broader industry shift away from strict adherence to Moore’s Law.
- Lightmatter is developing photonic computing technologies that aim to address the limitations of traditional silicon-based chips.
- The semiconductor industry is exploring alternative computing paradigms, such as quantum computing and photonics.
- Cerebras is making significant strides in challenging Moore’s Law through its innovative approach to design chips.
- Its wafer-scale engine (WSE), a chip architecture that integrates a massive number of cores—up to 9,00,000—on a single silicon wafer, outperforms traditional GPUs like Nvidia H100 by a factor of ten in certain applications.
- The latest version, WSE-3, features 4 trillion transistors and is capable of handling AI models with up to 24 trillion parameters.
