Moore's law, Death of Moore's law, What after Moore's law?

There is no introduction or explanation needed for the famous Moore's law, still, for the sake of this post I am writing it. Gordon Earle Moore an American engineer, and the co-founder of Intel corporation created a law in 1965 which is "The number of transistors per silicon chip doubles every year", which holds true not until recent times, the semiconductor manufacturing industry is facing extreme challenges in designing smaller transistors, as many factors challenge a transistor's effective operation like subthreshold leakage, unable to withstand higher temperatures, cost of R&D and fabrication etc. This reminds us of another prediction made by Arthur Rock which was also made in the 1960's which is described as Moore's second law. According to Moore's second law "The cost of a semiconductor chip fabrication plant doubles every 4 years". Both the laws were only predictions made by the observations made by the understanding the magnificence of ICs.

Researchers, scientists and engineers are having proven reports that in the recent years that Moore's law will not hold true henceforth. So now we are coming to the next question. What next?

There are many recent inventions which will outburst the performance of digital machines, like Neuromorphic computing. It is basically a process of mimicking the brain cell actions into ICs, as we all know the most astonishing engine in the world is a "huma brain". Imagine if we are able to create electronic brains!

When analog devices were ruling the world and when the world was not introduced to the concept of "Digital", we had no idea that "Digital" will take over "Analog". It's time for us to wait and watch what Neuromorphic computing will provide to the world and how it is going to create a whole new evolution by itself.
