This document discusses Moore's Law and future technology trends. It explains that Moore's Law states that the number of transistors on integrated circuits doubles approximately every two years, leading to smaller, more powerful and cheaper chips. However, the document notes that chip size will eventually hit physical limits. It then outlines predictions for future computing, including cloud computing, social computing and ubiquitous computing integrated into everyday objects. The document questions whether future products will benefit businesses by helping them complete work more efficiently.

1. Technology for the
Future – Moore’s Law
By: Alex Rugguri, Jessica Miele, Kemi Ajibare, and Matt Price

2. Processors – Desktops & Laptops
 Smaller, stronger, and more energy-efficient
 Two major players: Intel and AMD
 Intel
 Sandy Bridge (32nm)  Ivy Bridge (22nm)
 USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt
 AMD
 Bulldozer  Piledriver

3. 3D Transistors
 Tri-gate transistors replace flat, two-dimensional
streams of transistors with a 3D structure.
 The technology will allow Intel to create transistors that
are faster (37%), smaller and more power-efficient
(50%).

4. Processors - Smartphones
 Quad-core processors
 Performance comparable to desktops
 Better battery life
 Nvidia
 Tegra 3
 Qualcomm
 Snapdragon S4

5. Motorola ATRIX

6. Moore’s Law
 The ability for more powerful chips to be produced at a
cheaper price every eighteen months.
 It’s possible because distance between the pathways
inside silicon chips gets smaller with each successive
generation.

7. End of Moore’s Law
The shrinking will eventually hit a limit.
 The three driving forces are size, heat, and power.
 The chip pathways are unable to be shorter than a
molecule.
 The risk of quantum tunneling occurring.

8. Technological Footprint
 According to Moore's law there will be a time when we
reach the smallest usable footprint.
 It hasn’t occurred yet, but we are getting closer to reaching
it.
 Some say it will happen in the near future.
 One person estimated the time will be around 2023.

9. The Point of Smallest
Technological Footprint

10. Smartphone
Laptops
iPad
Raspberry Pi

11. Future of technology
 The future of technology is almost unpredictable
 Hard to determine whether ideas & products will be
successful or not
 How long will a successful product last?

12. Future Technology Predictions
 All touch screen and hands-on products
 Scanning will also gather information
 Active workspaces
 Meetings will have intelligent participation
 Managing from any device
 Easier maneuvering of tasks

13. Future Predictions- Computing
 Cloud computing
 SASS- form of cloud computing, portable, subscribes to 3rd
party software
 Supercomputing- hundreds of microprocessors working in
unison

14. Computing cont.
 Social computing
 Ubiquitous computing- information processing is
integrated into everyday objects
 Grid computing- enables multiple computers working
together to solve a problem

15. Are future products beneficial
to the business community?
 We think these products will be effective
 Products will help businesses survive and thrive
 More advanced, faster products will help to complete
work & tasks
