Moore's Law
The computer chip has evolved from a simple integrated circuit to a microprocessor with millions of transistors.
The Pentium processor debuted in 1993 and had 3.1 million transistors. It used a technique called branch prediction to forecast upcoming instructions, so it could execute them more quickly. It was also designed with multimedia processing in mind.
