Which of the following factors is responsible for the possibility of Moore's Law?
A) The distance between pathways inside silicon chips gets smaller with each successive generation.
B) Silicon is commonly available in the form of sand or silicon dioxide, which helps keep the costs of chip production low.
C) Constant interaction among three forces-size, heat, and power-makes Moore's Law practical.
D) The availability of better cooling technologies ensures chips can continue growing smaller and more power efficient.
E) With the exponential growth in information technology-enabled businesses, the demand for computers makes Moore's Law possible.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Moore's Law is based on the observation that the number of transistors on a silicon chip doubles every 18 to 24 months, leading to a decrease in the cost and size of computing devices. This is made possible by the fact that the distance between pathways inside silicon chips gets smaller with each successive generation, allowing for more transistors to be packed onto a chip.
