In 1965 by Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel, that the number of transistors per square inch on integrated circuits had doubled every year since the integrated circuit was invented.
The graph of that, seen here, shows an exponential increase in the "clock speed" of processors.
Moore's Law as held true until the last few years, when it seemed the end was in sight and we would reach the limit of how small and how fast we could make microprocessors.
Today's NY Times reported on a recent breakthrough that would put everything back on track, as we get down to processing on the atomic level.
