This statement was formulated after Carver Mead had a discussion about the possibility that electron tunneling would limit the overall power of circuits.
The reason why this statement does not apply to clock rates is given by a formula relating linear dimensions to power rates, Dennard scaling. This statement was formulated after Carver Mead had a discussion about the possibility that electron tunneling would limit the overall power of circuits. This statement is named after a man who once theorized that the cost of creating fabrication plants grows exponentially, and who founded (*)  Intel with Robert Noyce. This statement's accuracy has been upheld recently by the advent of multicore processors, while photolithography and the development of the integrated circuit kept it true in the 20th century. For 10 points, name this law stating that the number of transistors used in computer parts doubles every 18 months.
