A new golden age for computer architecture (2019, background): “End of Moore’s Law and Dennard Scaling Although Moore’s Law held for many decades (see Figure 2), it began to slow sometime around 2000 and by 2018 showed a roughly 15-fold gap between Moore’s prediction and current capability, an observation Moore made in 2003 that was inevitable.(27) The current e”
