according to fast technology on september 12, huang renxun publicly stated today and reiterated his previous point of view that moore's law is dead.

huang renxun believes that moore's law has ended and we will no longer see the speed of cpus and general-purpose computers doubling every year. we would be lucky if it could double every 10 years.

in the past, moore's law increased 10 times every five years and 100 times every 10 years, so all we had to do was wait for the cpu to get faster, but now that's over, we're seeing computing inflation, so we need to accelerate everything we can," huang said.

he pointed out that "the world's largest data processing engines, namely recommendation systems, are already accelerating. what will happen next is that the world's general-purpose data centers, which are worth trillions of dollars, will be modernized to achieve accelerated computing."

huang renxun had expressed this view before, but the heads of amd and intel had hit back, saying that he was wrong and that this was not a reason for him to continue raising the prices of graphics cards.

whether moore's law has failed is the most frequently mentioned topic in the semiconductor industry in recent years. however, after the launch of 90nm in 2004, it has continued to comply with moore's law through process miniaturization such as 65nm and 45nm, and up to 22nm in 2012. however, 22nm entered 14nm in 2015, and has now entered 10nm or 7nm, and the advancement of moore's law has obviously slowed down.

due to their near-invincible presence in the graphics card/gpu field, it is not surprising that huang renxun continues to raise graphics card prices by leveraging the failure of moore's law. just look at the rtx 50 series that is being prepared. the performance has been significantly improved compared to the previous generation, so a big price increase should be inevitable.
