Foil 71 Transistor Count Growth Rate
From CPS615-Introduction-Course,Driving Technology and HPCC Current Status and Futures CPS615 Basic Simulation Track for Computational Science -- Fall Semester 98. byGeoffrey C. Fox, (Some Culler, Koelbel material)
100 million transistors on chip by early 2000's A.D.
Transistor count grows much faster than clock rate
- 40% per year, order of magnitude more contribution in 2 decades
