Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Moore's Law, proposed by Gordon Moore in 1965, originally stated that the number of transistors on a microchip doubles about every two years, though it is often cited as doubling in performance every eighteen months. This has been interpreted to mean that computing power or chip performance per dollar doubles approximately every eighteen months, making option D the correct interpretation of Moore's Law.
