Moore’s Law

TTTO “Loke’ach Ta’Zman” from “Zlil Mechuvan”

When the CPU was new, back then

This guy, the call him Moor, this law he invented

It would double in transistors, time and again

It had since been quoted often, and poorly represented

But more transistors on a chip

Mean faster hardware costing less

And so computers have been growing still

And it will not stop I guess, yeah

In the year of 1971

10 micrometers chip, state-of-art represented

But these chips would be pretty soon outdone

3 micrometers chips, in just 4 years they were invented

And just in 7 or so years

They made 1-point-5 microns

And they would not be done with this for years

They would still hit the milestones, yeah

But software has been slowing through the years

With faster hardware, we still wait ‘till we’re in tears

With more and more transistors we are hit

The programs just run slower bit by bit

Some people write their working code in languages with a VM

And I say that if the code is working fine, that I would like to join them

90 nanomilimeters are the rage

We’ve all got those chips, and still the things are growing faster

For, you will see, in this nano day and age

11 nanomilis with the quantum stuff to master

We still do not know what we’ll do

When we have gone so small as that

But we’ll have 10 more years to figure out

And we are taking our time, yeah
