From Wikipedia:
Moore’s Law is the empirical observation made in 1965 that the number of transistors on an integrated circuit for minimum component cost doubles every 24 months. It is attributed to Gordon E. Moore (born 1929), a co-founder of Intel.
Intel have just seen a breakthrough in chip design which have ensured this will live on for a few more years. Here’s some links:
