Moore's Law is an observation made by Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel, in 1965, which states that the number of transistors on an integrated circuit (IC) doubles about every two years. This has been a consistent trend in the semiconductor industry for several decades and has led to exponential growth in computing power and capabilities.
