Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Moore's Law refers to the observation made by Intel co-founder Gordon Moore in 1965 that the number of transistors on a chip doubles approximately every 18-24 months, resulting in an exponential increase in computing power. This doubling of transistors has also led to a doubling of chip performance per dollar spent, making D the correct answer.
