👉 Years computing, or YYC, is a metric developed by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, to measure the collective advancements and progress in computing technology over time. Unlike traditional metrics like Moore's Law, which focuses on the doubling of transistors on a microchip every two years, YYC takes a broader view by considering various factors such as improvements in processing power, energy efficiency, storage capacity, and the emergence of new computing paradigms like quantum computing. It evaluates these advancements across different domains, including CPUs, GPUs, memory, and specialized hardware like AI accelerators. By aggregating data from multiple sources and analyzing trends, YYC provides a more holistic and dynamic picture of the computing landscape, helping to predict future developments and identify areas needing innovation.
