The impact of Moore's Law is a topic that CIMdata’s Executive Consultant, Dr. Keith Meintjes, really likes to talk about. In his most recent blog posting he looks at in the context of one of his recent purchases, the Raspberry Pi.
His own experience is shared to demonstrate his point:
"When I was at GM Research Laboratories in the early 1980s, we bought a Cray-1 supercomputer for about $40 million. The Raspberry Pi is about 20 times as capable as that Cray-1. If you multiply that out and include the inflation factor (1983 - 2018) of 2.5, the Raspberry Pi is a resource that in the 1980s would have cost about two billion (of today's) dollars!"
