Dennard scaling

Dennard scaling is a type of technology that helps computers work faster. It was invented by a scientist named Robert H. Dennard in 1974. To understand how it works, imagine that there is a bottle with a lot of people inside. They each have a job to do to get the bottle moving faster. Dennard scaling is like giving those people better tools to do their job. By giving the people better tools, the bottle can move faster and more efficiently. It's the same way with a computer - giving it better tools helps it work faster and more efficiently.
