Their data suggests that it now takes 18 times as many resources as it did then to work out how to double the number of transistors on a microchip.
"We are constantly negotiating with the pesky figure of the algorithm, unsure how we would have behaved if we’d been left to our own devices. No wonder we are made anxious"
