6 6 Zoom-in a System Component

7 7 Moore’s Law Exponential growth 2,250 Transistor count will be doubled every 18 months  Gordon Moore, Intel co-founder 42millions 1.7 billions Montecito 10 μm 13.5mm 2 0.09 μm 596 mm 2

8 8 Integrated Circuit Complexity Source: Intel

9 9 Minimum Feature Size We are currently at 0.065µm (65nm) and moving towards 0.045µm

10 10 Average Transistor Price per year Source: Dataquest

11 11 Processor Market Segmentation High Performance (e.g. IBM Power5, G5, Intel 32/64, Itanium, Pentium4, Sun T1, etc) High Performance (e.g. IBM Power5, G5, Intel 32/64, Itanium, Pentium4, Sun T1, etc) Embedded / low-power (e.g. Intel Xscale, ARM, MIPS) Embedded / low-power (e.g. Intel Xscale, ARM, MIPS) Special purpose (e.g. DSP, NVidia GForce) Special purpose (e.g. DSP, NVidia GForce)

12 12 Analog Signal vs. Digital So, why Digital?

13 13 Binary Signals So, why Binary?

14 14 Voltage Range of Binary Signals 0.0 Volts 1.0 Volts 2.0 Volts 3.0 Volts 4.0 Volts 5.0 Volts INPUT OUTPUT HIGH (1) LOW (0) HIGH (1) LOW (0)
