It is commonly said that Gordon Moore said computing power would double every 18 months. He never said that. What he actually said is that the number of transistors on a chip would double every year. In 1975, he changed that to every two years. David House was the one who stated that this would cause a doubling of performance every 18 months.
yes. so?
