IEEE Annals of the History of Computing, 2010•ieeexplore.ieee.orgThe electrical efficiency of computation has doubled roughly every year and a half for more
than six decades, a pace of change comparable to that for computer performance and
electrical efficiency in the microprocessor era. These efficiency improvements enabled the
creation of laptops, smart phones, wireless sensors, and other mobile computing devices,
with many more such innovations yet to come. The Web Extra appendix outlines the data
and methods used in this study.
