Future Problems with Moore’s Law

As the years grow by, there is a demand for computers to be cheaper and faster. Yet, this can only happen if the size of transistors is further reduced, something that is hard to do. Hence, it is increasingly becoming hard to stick to Moore’s law. As a result, scientists decided to explore other means of making computers cheaper and faster.

The future which Moore predicted, which is now, is gradually discarding Moore’s observations. Even though computer manufacturers still add more transistors, this can’t continue forever. Nowadays, computer scientists are researching how to develop chips and transistors of higher quality

Can a Transistor Get Smaller?

It is possible to reduce the size of a transistor, since many transistor designers have tried to do so. However, as much as they tried, they believe it is high time to use other architecture. Soon, chip producers will have to find other ways of producing transistors that take less space, and energy and are faster.

The Future of Computing

Researchers are thinking of exploring the world of quantum computing on computers in the future. This method relies on subatomic characteristics like entanglement and superposition. For superposition, the computer will process information in qubits instead of bits. That is, the computer can use binary numbers 1 or 0 if you measure the information. For entanglement, it means combining 0s and 1s at the same time in the qubits system. That is, the evaluation and representation of information will be better than a single qubit.

Improvement in Chip Technology

Chip Technology

As there are new concepts for transistors, so also there are new concepts for chips. This is because both go hand in hand with computing technology. Researchers have come up with novel concepts to increase the speed of chips and accelerators.

For example, the use of superconductors that don’t use much energy. A superconductor, as a metal, loses its resistance to electricity at -268° Celsius. As a result, it consumes less electricity than other conductors. But it has a disadvantage, it requires more advanced equipment to develop circuits that use superconductors.

Other Improvements

Consequently, computer scientists look for ways to improve computer efficiency through superconducting and reversible computing. This solved the
