Computers double their performance every month.

Computers get better faster than anything else ever.

Computer power grows according to Moore's law, as does the sophistication of handheld devices.

A big part of the success of Microsoft was that every year, the chips our software ran on got faster and cheaper. They doubled in capability every 18 months under Moore's law.

Every one of today's smartphones has thousands of times more processing power than the computers that guided astronauts to the moon.

If it weren't for Moore's law changing the playing field continuously, I would have been long gone. The rapid pace of hardware evolution still keeps things fresh for me.

I saw the logarithmic growth of computer power.

At some point, Moore's law will break down.

Because of the nature of Moore's law, anything that an extremely clever graphics programmer can do at one point can be replicated by a merely competent programmer some number of years later.

A typical smart phone has more computing power than Apollo 11 when it landed a man on the moon.

Today, your cell phone has more computer power than all of NASA back in 1969, when it placed two astronauts on the moon. Video games, which consume enormous amounts of computer power to simulate 3-D situations, use more computer power than mainframe computers of the previous decade. The Sony PlayStation of today, which costs $300, has the power of a military supercomputer of 1997, which cost millions of dollars.

When I was a student at MIT, we all shared one computer and it took up a whole building. The computer in your cell phone today is a million times cheaper and a thousand times more powerful.

It's Moore's Law, everything will be obsolete in 10 years - I'll be obsolete in 10 years!

The power of the computer is starting to spread.

Supercomputers will achieve one human brain capacity by 2010, and personal computers will do so by about 2020.

Nanotechnology will let us build computers that are incredibly powerful. We'll have more power in the volume of a sugar cube than exists in the entire world today.

It would appear that we have reached the limits of what it is possible to achieve with computer technology, although one should be careful with such statements, as they tend to sound pretty silly in 5 years.

Every two years, to keep Moore's Law happening, you have to invent... That's where I grew up.

The accumulated knowledge of materials, computing, electromagnetism, product design, and all the rest that we've learned over the last several centuries converts a few ounces of raw materials worth mere pennies into a device with more computing power than the entire planet possessed fifty years ago.

The form of computers has never been important, with speed and performance being the only things that mattered.

People tend to look at processing power as how to gauge a piece of hardware is powerful for us.

I have sometimes thought the power of computers had exceeded our ability to use them, but Mr. Jobs and his team kept giving us devices that made indispensable things easier in ways you never thought of.

I doubt that pornography has been good for the advancement of society, but I suspect it’s done wonders for the advancement of computer technology.

If the automobile had followed the same development as the computer, a Rolls Royce would today cost $100 and get a million miles per gallon, and explode once a year killing everyone inside.
