Named after Stanford University professor Jonathan Koomey - - Koomey's Law states that electrical efficiency of computing has doubled every 1.6 years since the mid-1940s.
The key point - - for a fixed amount of computational power, the need for battery capacity will fall by half every 1.6 years. Very good news for a future that will be dominated by mobile devices, sensors, and controls.
The Economist has more at A deeper law than Moore's?.
