On April 19th of this year, Moore's Law turned 40. A few weeks ago, an interview with Gordon Moore appeared on Techworld.com. In it they asked Moore how long he thinks Moore's Law will hold true - how long the number of ICs on a chip will exponentially grow with respect to time. As the size of transistors we know them are approaching their size limitation in nanometers and even picometers, Moore says eventually we will reach the point where transistors will need to be at the atomic level for the law to hold true.

A copy of the orginal article from the April 1965 issue of Electronics Magazine can be found at Intel's webpage.
