Moore's law was actually tested after 10 nanometers

The semiconductor industry has been following Intel's co-founder's Moore's law, which states that transistors double in density every two years, allowing electronics to improve performance and lower prices.Moore's law was put to the test after 10 nanometers, and the industry already thought it was broken.

Speaking at the Intel software day in the UK, senior vice President and chief architect Raja Koduri also mentioned this issue. He believed that in the future, the improvement of Intel's processor performance should not only depend on technology or architecture, but also start from software optimization.He also Shared some data, claiming that Intel's processors have achieved significant performance improvements through software optimization, including 1.4 times game performance, 2.5 times content creation, and 1.9 times high performance computing performance, although Raja Koduri did not give specific data comparisons.

Raja Koduri emphasizes that it is not surprising to improve processor performance through software optimization rather than hardware/technology. In fact, Intel put forward a theory of six technical pillars at the end of last year, and software is an important part of it. Intel will launch One API to unify CPU, GPU, FPGA, AI and other hardware platforms to simplify development and improve performance.Before this meeting, Raja Koduri repeatedly mentioned the importance of software optimization. Under the current diversified computing requirements, for every order of performance improvement of the new hardware architecture, software optimization can bring about two orders of performance improvement.

Faced with the failure of Moore's law and the encroachment of AMD, Intel does need to change, even on the hardware level, from being perceived as squeezing toothpaste to being in line with modern industry trends.
