Solution Summary

This solution talks about how the decrease in size and increase in number of transistors on a computer chip help with improving computer speed and down-sizing the devise in physical size.

Solution Preview

According to Moore's Law the number of transistors roughly doubles every couple of years. As transistor density increases, it innovates the architecture designs and allows delivery of more complex, powerful, and energy-efficient chips which in turn go into our smart devices. These chips with increased density of transistors are transforming the way we ...
