Nvidia GPU roadmap confirms it: Moore's Law is dead and buried

Everything has growth limits. For me Moore's law is number of transistor per dollar, not number of transistor per unit area. And even if we don't have any technical progress that number will decrease as the fab would recoup the R and D costs and the competition will increase after technical saturation.

We would likely get 2x transistor per dollar every two year for quite a long time.

It's always been a function of price, I've been shouting this for years: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2008/09/moore/

> The complexity for minimum component costs has increased at a rate of roughly a factor of two per year.

It's incredible how deeply ingrained this misinterpretation has been, even among the very technical, without ever examining its original source or phrasing.
