In 1965, Intel co-founder Gordon Moore, predicted that the number of transistors contained by a chip will double every two years. Chips development have confirmed that The Moore’s Law is not only a theory so far, but everything has a limit and it won’t take long until it’s veracity will end, unless the scientists will find out a new method to replace silicon technology.

Although Moore explained that his axiom will last another 10 to 15 years, Sunman Datta, a researcher at Pennsylvania State University, affirmed that we have only 4 years of shrinking left, using silicon based chips.
