So much so, in fact, that today we talk about <a href=\"https:\/\/tecnologia.euroinnova.com\/en\/sociedad-de-la-informacion\/\">information society.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>New technological developments: <\/strong>Moore's Law has driven the development of new technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics and virtual reality.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"historia-de-la-ley-de-moore\">History of Moore's Law<\/h2>\n<p>Moore's Law was based on Moore's observation that <strong>the number of transistors on an integrated circuit doubled every year.<\/strong> This observation was based on his experience as an engineer at Fairchild Semiconductor and later at Intel.<\/p>\n<p>As technology advanced, Moore adjusted his prediction,<strong> extending the doubling period to two years.<\/strong> Despite this adjustment, Moore's Law has remained an accurate prediction of processing power growth for more than 50 years.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"efectos-de-la-ley-de-moore-en-el-desarrollo-tecnologico\">Effects of Moore's Law on technological development<\/h2>\n<p>Moore's Law has had a profound impact on technological development in recent decades. Some of the most notable effects are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The rise of the personal computer industry: <\/strong>made it possible to create affordable and powerful personal computers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The development of the Internet: <\/strong>made it possible to create the necessary infrastructure for the Internet, including routers, switches and servers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The rise of mobile technologies:<\/strong> made smartphones and other mobile devices possible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"actualizacion-de-la-ley-de-moore\">Moore's Law Update<\/h2>\n<p>In recent years, there has been some uncertainty as to whether Moore's Law will remain in force. This is because of the approaching<strong> physical limits of transistor miniaturisation. &nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>However, researchers are working on new technologies that could allow Moore's Law to continue for a few more years.<\/p>\n<p>In the long term, Moore's Law is likely to come to an end. However, the legacy of Moore's Law will be felt for many years to come. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"ejemplos-de-la-ley-de-moore\">Examples of Moore's Law<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>The <strong>number<\/strong> transistor count on an Intel Pentium 4 chip was 42 million in 2000. In 2020, the number of transistors on an Intel Core i9-10900K chip was 10.7 billion.<\/li>\n<li>The <strong>price <\/strong>cost of a transistor has steadily decreased since the 1960s. In 1965, a transistor cost $100. In 2020, a transistor cost less than a penny.<\/li>\n<li>The <strong>size<\/strong> of a transistor has been steadily shrinking since the 1960s. In 1965, a transistor was the size of a pinhead. In 2020, a transistor was smaller than a molecule.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Although its future and scope are debated, the historical impact of Moore's Law has been undeniable and has left a legacy that will continue to influence future technological advances.&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>La Ley de Moore, enunciada por Gordon Moore en 1965, observa que el n\u00famero de transistores que se pueden colocar [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3506","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-metaterminos"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tecnologia.euroinnova.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3506","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tecnologia.euroinnova.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tecnologia.euroinnova.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tecnologia.euroinnova.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tecnologia.euroinnova.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3506"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tecnologia.euroinnova.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3506\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tecnologia.euroinnova.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3506"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tecnologia.euroinnova.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3506"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tecnologia.euroinnova.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3506"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
