Answer:

Answer

Moore's Law is not really a natural law but an observation that has been found to be true since it was first stated by Intel cofounder, Gordon E. Moore, in 1965. It states that the number of transistors that can be placed on an integrated circuit doubles approximately every two years. This was termed "Moore's law" around 1970 by Professor Carver Mead.
