Moore's Law contends that the performance of a commodity microprocessor of a given price doubles every 18 months.
Gordon Moore's Law states the amount of information storable on a given amount of silicon has roughly doubled every year since the technology was invented.

Moore's Law narrowly refers to the number of transistor s on an integrated circuit of fixed size, and sometimes has been expressed even more narrowly in terms of transistor feature size.
Moores law states that computing speed (or transistor density) doubles approximately every 2 years.
Moore's Law is effective in predicting the shrinking of active devices, but it does not apply to passive devices.

Moore's Law has been working for silicon technology for the past 50 years, but eventually the laws of physics will make further advances impossible.
Moore's law of a doubling transistor count every 18 months should probably have an amendment to cover the inverse relationship between transistor proliferation and available real estate.
Moore's Law, defined in the sixties, predicts a monotonic increase in available computing power with time.

Moore's Law says computer chips double in performance every 18 months, but faster chips mean smaller circuits and useful circuits can only be so small.
Moore's Law is a rule of thumb regarding computer technology which, in one general formulation, states that the processing power per price of computers will increase by a factor of 1.
Moores law effects the IT industry in that to keep up with cutting edge technology requires an upgrade of equipment every 3 years or less.
