RIP, I thought his prediction laws were no longer applicable to the current advances. Maybe I was wrong.🤔
No they aren't (and never were) 'Laws'
They completely ignored physics limitations.

yeah they were more of a way to dumb down speed increases in processing.

but much like a car and a gallon of gas there is a limit to how much you can increase efficiency.

Ie no standard gas burning car will get 1000 miles to the gallon.

and no asic miner will do 1 watt per th for the sha 256 algo.

as for 1000 miles a gallon
or 1 watt per th being impossible limits that wont be met we can call it Phil’s Law.😀

He is co-founding Intel I mean this man was a revolutionary despite his law Moore's Law is no longer relevant. But still this guy was the father of Chip.

Well the only thing to say right now is Rest In Peace Mr. Gordon Moore  Cry

Probably not the best place to discuss it, but I figure it's worth a mention here in the hardware section since over the years we have had a lot of discussions about Moore's Law and how much speed we can get out of how small a die on a chip and if it would keep going or would we hit a size / speed wall.

He was one of the co-founders of intel and in general a really intelligent person: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_Moore

Probably did more to advance ICs more then any other person.

RIP
