AMD CEO Says Moore’s Law is Not Dead: Working On 3nm Now, Looking Beyond 2nm & Will Continue Using Chiplets
AMD CEO, Dr. Lisa Su, points out that Moore's Law is not dead but has slowed down and things need to be done differently to overcome the performance, efficiency, and cost challenges. AMD has been the pioneer of advancing 3D packaging and chiplet technology with its first HBM designs back in 2015, chiplet processors in 2017, and also the first 3D packaging on a chip with its 3D V-Cache design in 2022.
Moore's Law was proposed by the co-founder of Intel, Gordon Moore, back in 1965 (~1975) and said that the number of transistors would double every year
Meanwhile, NVIDIA thinks that Moore's Law has run out of gas and no longer applies to its business strategy.
One should be aware that "these days" saying, for example, that one process is 4nm and another is 2nm does NOT necessarily refer to the "size" of the "transistors" in the process. Rather, it refers to overall performance of the chip (CPU chip, GPU chip, etc). That is, a 2nm CPU is supposedly twice as fast as 4nm CPU -- not twice the circuits/transistors per square centimeter of CPU silicon.
