Episode notes
Thermodynamic Computing Efficiency
- Thermodynamic computing intrinsically processes computation using thermodynamic gradients in materials.
- This method drastically reduces energy consumption per computation, promising a paradigm shift in computing efficiency.
Moore's Law Sustained by Thermodynamics
- Moore's law on energy efficiency per computation has been decreasing exponentially.
- Thermodynamic computing could be the technology sustaining Moore's law into the future.
Moore's Law as Durable Trend
- Moore's law is the only long-term durable trend in computing progress.
- Faith-based claims about S-curve endings lack data support, so relying on Moore's law is more pragmatic.
