Should be more like 35^2 considering the same area but scaled down features?

- vikingerik 4y agoMoore's Law would correctly give a factor of 35x linear density so 35^2 transistors on a square or rectangular die. But speed doesn't scale linearly with transistor count, both because there are diminishing returns per transistor, and because clock speed plateaus. (Remember Moore's Law is about density, not speed. Density sometimes begets speed but not always; one big counterexample is memory access latency time.)
