    Moore's Law is not dead insists Intel's Jim Keller

    And the 71st anniversary of the announcement of the first transistor was this weekend.
    Read more.

    "Moores law isn't dead, Intel just bonked it over the head for the past 5 years"

    But isn't claiming it isn't dead by building (stacking) vertically with layering basically cheating Moores law?

    "However, special attention is placed on die-on-water stacking here."

    I think 'die-on-wafer' has been autocorrected based on the slide photo...

    Die-on-water sounds so good though!

    Sounds like the "orange" drink I had in a pub the other day .... and may taste like it too. It certainly bore no more than a passing resemblance to anything with actual fruit.

    ", is a prediction that transistors will decrease in cost at an exponential rate and increase in performance"
    No Moore's law doesn't say that but:
    "Moore's law is the observation that the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit doubles about every two years."

    Nothing to do with cost.
    Do you really write for a tech site?

    So my understanding of 'die-to-wafer' is that instead of saying "Moore's Law is dead" we will now say "Moore's Law is wafered".

    No more than any other method of shrinking the transistors. Given we already have some pretty big NAND flash towers in SSD chips, I have to wonder how long the scaling will last though.

    Agreed, people seem to forget that in 1965 there weren't any microprocessor ICs to reduce the cost of so he was talking more about simple logic or op amp circuits.

    Still, silicon was considered a fixed cost per square mm for a long time so he *might* have been thinking it.

    At least people have largely stopped saying Moore was talking about performance doubling every two years.

    I'm sure it would be held up by the sides of the fin-sink needed to cool the stack

    When hardware sites go corporate, journalists replace enthusiasts and the quality drops.

    Wired has now published a report from the Silicon 100 Summit, for those that want to read more about Keller's presentation etc.
