The original Moore?s Law was all about tracking the number of transistors that could be packed into a dense integrated circuit. It was an observation, not a law of physics, that tracked the progress in semiconductor process development and manufacturing.
From the consumer viewpoint, Moore?s Law is associated with a continuing evolution of products that provide more functionality, deliver more performance, use less energy, and in many cases, are smaller. The laws of physics do apply to semiconductor processing and manufacturing. In fact, the rate of progress in transistor size and chip density has slowed down.
