Unit 1 Assignment 1: Integrated Circuit Technology

Based on the reading from Moore’s Law; the number of transistors and integrated circuits double every two years.
Starting in 1971 to the present day; transistor number double or even tripled over the years. So I believe the transistor and integrated circuit technology growth is surprising fast due to how evolved technology is becoming.
From transistors and integrated circuits doubling every two years, It could be 5-15 years before it could reach 100 billion, or even one trillion transistors on a single chip.

    Throughout the years prices of computers have dropped and the memory in the computers has gotten substantially higher. Moore’s Law tells us that the number of processors doubles every two years. Well this is causing technology or computers in this case to basically double as well. In 1957 a 0.00098 KB RAM cost $392. This is unbelievable to me considering today my phone has two-billion times the RAM. In 1955 the amount of ROM on an IBM hard-drive was 12 MB and cost a whopping $74800 or the price of a decent house today. This price was at $6233 per MB. In today’s world we forget sometimes that there were even computers with MB hard drives.…
