Moore’s Law forecasts that the amount of data that could be processed by a computer chip would
A
double about every 18 months.
B
triple about every few months.
C
double about every two years.
D
triple about every three years.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In 1965, Gordon Moore posited that roughly every two years, the number of transistors on microchips will double. Commonly referred to as Moore’s Law, this phenomenon suggests that computational progress will become significantly faster, smaller, and more efficient over time.

Detailed explanation-2: -Moores law is said to be breaking down, according to theoretical physicist Michio Kaku. He’s talking about the so-called law that says the number of transistors that can be fit on a computer chip will double every 18 months, resulting in periodic increases in computing power.

Detailed explanation-3: -Definition. Moore’s law is a term used to refer to the observation made by Gordon Moore in 1965 that the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit (IC) doubles about every two years.

Detailed explanation-4: -In 1965, Gordon Moore, one of Intel’s co-founders, observed that the number of transistors on a microchip was increasing rapidly, exponentially increasing the computing power while decreasing the cost of the chip. Moore predicted that the number of transistors would double every year for the next decade.

Detailed explanation-5: -As we continue to miniaturize chips, we’ll no doubt bump into Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, which limits precision at the quantum level, thus limiting our computational capabilities. James R. Powell calculated that, due to the uncertainty principle alone, Moore’s Law will be obsolete by 2036.
