Abstract
It was around the years 2003 to 2005 that a dramatic change seized the semiconductor industry and the manufactures of processors. The increasing of computing performance in processors, based on simply screwing up the clock frequency, could not longer be holded. All the years before the clock frequency could be steadily increased by improvements achieved both on technology and on architectural side. Scaling of the technology processes, leading to smaller channel lengths and shorter switching times in the devices, and measures like instruction-level-parallelism and out-of-order processing, leading to high fill rates in the processor pipelines, were the guarantors to meet Mooreâs law.
