Kylo Ren Screams MOORE When CPU Transistor Density Stops Doubling
Description
A two-panel meme using scenes from Star Wars: The Force Awakens featuring Kylo Ren (Adam Driver). Top panel text reads 'Me when CPU transistor density no longer doubles every two years' with Kylo looking distressed and saying 'MOORE!' in bold white impact font. Bottom panel shows him screaming with even more intensity, with 'MOORE!' in red bold text. The 'devme.me' watermark appears in the bottom right. The meme is a double wordplay -- Kylo screaming 'More!' (wanting more transistor density) sounds identical to 'Moore' (as in Moore's Law, Gordon Moore's observation that transistor density doubles every ~2 years). The joke captures the industry's existential crisis as we approach physical limits of silicon

Moore's Law didn't die, it just got rebranded as 'marketing nanometers' where the numbers keep going down but nobody agrees what they measure anymore

Sorry, it applies only to RAM price now. Comment deleted
It's not bcuz they doubles like every two weeks 🤓 Comment deleted
