2. Moore’s Law
• Chip performance per dollar doubles every
eighteen to twenty-four months.
• Chips = Processors
• Execute instructions of a program
• Determines computer speed
3. Why Does Moore’s Law
Matter?
• Processors in 18-24
months will be twice
as fast as existing
models, but cost the
same.
• Current processors
would then be half
their current price.
4. The Limits of Moore’s Law
• Photolithography (the patterning and etching of chips
using light)
• Rising Costs
• Temperature control
• Our ability to manufacture smaller components
5. Overcoming the Limits with
Nanotechnology
• Carbon Nanotubes- Aiding in
heat dissipation and structural
design
• Nanowires- helping to increase
the maximum number of
transistors on silicon chips
6. Overcoming the Limits with
Nanotechnology
• Thermoplastic Nanoimprint
Lithography- The current
standard
• 3D Lithography- The latest
breakthrough in chip
manufacturing
8. Advances in Flash Storage
• Allows for devices to be more compact
• No moving Parts
• Technology that is used in tablets (Ipad, Macbook Air, etc)
• Allows for more portable and lightweight products
Have to balance need for speed with cost-effectiveness. Early Adopter = higher costsLate Adopter = lower costs, lost opportunityIncorporating into Products:- First mover- Fast Follower
Faster processors make augmented reality possible. Gives devices the speed and power to project these things. Also, SIRI and the Ipad use these processors. Makes it possible to run everything at high speed. Future processor will be smaller yet more powerful and faster. Soon to be in all top of the line devices.
Star off asking the class. How many have heard of augmented reality? How many have experienced augmented reality? Tell them they all have either seen or heard of augmented reality.
Tell definition. Then explain two examples. How people watching a football game on t.v. sees a yellow line but its not really on the field. Once again how it enhances our view on a ipod.
