Subject: Intel:  Moore's Law good until 2029

Pat Gelsinger, head of the Digital Enterprise Division at Intel, says  
that Moore's Law will continue until 2029 with zettaflop  
supercomputers at that time. [link is to his Intel Developers Forum  
keynote address, 80 pages, From Petaflops to Milliwatts]

"I compare Moore's Law to driving down the road on a foggy night, how  
far can you see? Does the road stop after 100 metres? How far can you  
go?

"That's what it's been like with Moore's Law. We thought there were  
physical limits and we casually speak about going to 10 nanometres.  
"We have work going on different transistor structures. Silicon has  
become scaffolding for the rest of the periodic table. We're putting  
these other structures into the materials. We see no end in sight and  
we've had 10 years of visibility for the last 30 years."
