Abstract:
by IBM Corp's Thomas N. Theis and Paul M. Horn: Consider almost any metric for the performance or cost-effectiveness of information technology, and you will find exponentially compounding rates of improvement that extend over years and decades. ... For decades now, the cost of a finished Si chip has remained roughly constant, while the number of circuits on that chip has risen exponentially and the cost of information processing has plummeted.
