Is Moore's Law still valid today? Whether Moore's Law is still valid today is up for debate. The law remains relevant in the semiconductor industry, but recent technological trends may render it obsolete in the near future.

Moore's Law, created by Gordon Moore before he co-founded Intel, has remained the golden rule for the electronics industry since its 1965 publication. Moore's Law only stops when innovation stops, and innovation continues to push forward.

Practically every facet of a high-tech society benefits from Moore's Law in action. Mobile devices, such as smartphones and computer tablets, would not work without tiny processors; neither would video games, spreadsheets, accurate weather forecasts, and global positioning systems (GPS).

Moore's Law is the observation that the number of transistors on an integrated circuit will double every two years with minimal rise in cost. Intel co-founder Gordon Moore predicted a doubling of transistors every year for the next 10 years in his original paper published in 1965.
