    The document summarizes data on the volume and cost of DRAM sales from 1974 to 1997, as well as characteristics of Intel microprocessors from 1971 to 1999. It shows that DRAM sales grew exponentially from 2 gigabits in 1974 to over 30 billion gigabits in 1997, while costs per bit declined substantially. It also outlines that the number of transistors in Intel's microprocessors doubled approximately every two years, consistent with Moore's Law.
