Moore's Law: Intel Corporation
built 235 days ago
Not all aspects of computing technology develop in capacities and speed according to Moore's Law. Random Access Memory (RAM) speeds and hard drive seek times improve at best a few percentage points each year. Since the capacity of RAM and hard drives is increasing much faster than is their access speed, intelligent use of their capacity becomes more and more important. It now makes sense in many cases to trade space for time, such as by precomputing indexes and storing them in ways that facilitate rapid access, at the cost of using more disk and memory space: space is getting cheaper relative to time.

Talkback Intel sees Moore's Law wall ahead " .i t depends on who is looking. IBM is investigating MRAM -- magnetic memory -- based on the technology, and Stanford University recently announced the discovery of an 'Ohm's Law' for spin.
