Step 1 of 2 15.001P Consider a chip is designed using 5-µm technology in 1970s with 20,000 transistors. According to definition of Moore's law the number of transistors per square inch is doubled for every 18 months. Moore's law is also concentrated on speed of the chip and it is more accurate to apply the law to number of transistors than to speed. Step 2 of 2 Determine the number of transistors on the chip fabricated with 32-nm technology in 2013. 2013-1970 = 43 years Determine the total number of months. 43*12 = 516 months Consider the number of transistors are doubled for every 18 months. total number of transistor in Therefore, the number of transistors on the chip fabricated with 32-nm technology in 2013 is
