    Question



    In the history of computing, Moore's Law says that the number of Integrated Circuit (IC) Chips in a Computer doubles every two years, which implies that computers become twice as powerful every two years. According to Moore's Law, how many years from now will Computers be 32 times more powerful as they are now?

    A.

    5 years

    B.

    10 years

    C.

    12 years

    D.

    8 years

    Correct option is B

    According to Moore's Law, the number of transistors (and thus computing power) doubles every two years. To find when computers will be 32 times more powerful:
    · 32 = 252^5​, which implies that computers will be 32 times more powerful after 5 doublings.
    · Since Moore's Law says doubling occurs every 2 years, the time required for 5 doublings is: 5 × 2 = 10 years
    Information Booster:
    1. Moore's Law is an observation, not a physical law, but it has historically predicted the pace of advancement in computing technology.
    2. Computing power increases exponentially, doubling every two years.
