Moore's Law and Dennard Scaling

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Moore's law predicted the device count inside processors doubling on a roughly fixed schedule; Dennard scaling found that shrinking transistors also consume less power — the paired engines of processor evolution.

Show

Room-sized machines becoming pocket-sized is the two claims compounding.

Watch for

A prediction and a finding, not laws of nature.
