Chip level integration continues to be a driving force in the computer industry. It lowers the cost and increases performance of computer systems, creating a remarkable rate of improvement in all processors, from handheld devices to supercomputers. Processor chips now (in 2009) contain up to two billion transistors. Gordon Moore outlined a roadmap for chip level integration in 1965, which has become known as Moore's Law. It predicts that the density of transistors in a silicon chip will double every process generation. It has become the heartbeat of the semiconductor industry.
