Chinese chip maker Huawei says it is ditching Moore's law for a new law called Tau's Law that will define computing power growth in the future.
Moore's Law focused on the physical size of chips, and we all knew that its days of usefulness were coming to an end. Among other problems with Moore's Law, atomic-scale physics creates leakage and heat problems, & EUV lithography is extremely difficult and expensive. These problems are becoming steadily insurmountable as chips are required to shrink ever smaller.
Huawei says it is following a new approach. Tau's Law will focus on the speed of operation of the chips, not their size. Huawei’s main implementation appears to be something called “LogicFolding”, which focuses on the three-dimensional structure of chips.
This development is as much an illustration of geopolitics in operation as it is of technology development. China has been forced into this position because the United States is sanctioning it and attempting to cut it off from the world's leading chips made in Taiwan and the Netherlands.
The Chinese attempts to work around this problem have not stalled their AI development efforts. In fact, the opposite has happened. It has spurred innovation that has made their AI superior in performance to Western AI. What will Tau's Law do for future AI development?
Does Huawei’s Tau Scaling Law Challenge the Logic Leadership of Intel and TSMC? https://futurumgroup.com/insights/does-huaweis-tau-scaling-law-challenge-the-logic-leadership-of-intel-and-tsmc/
