Moore’s Law In 1965, Intel cofounder Gordon Moore predicted that the number of transistors on a computer chip would double approximately every 2 years. This prediction is known as Moore’s Law. Data for four Intel processors are shown in the table.

a. Using a doubling time of 2 years and the 4004 processor as the starting information, write a model for the number of transistors after a given time t where input is aligned so that t = 0 in 1971.

b. Align the data in the table so that t = 0 in 1971. Find an exponential model for the aligned data.

c. Does the model from the data confirm Moore’s prediction?
