Moore’s Law, the observation that the number of transistors on a computer chip doubles every 24 months, has taken a beating as progress miniaturizing circuitry falters. But chip giant Intel has plotted a course to keep the idea alive with a plan to pack 50 times as many transistors onto processors than is possible today.

The progress of Moore’s Law, named after Intel co-founder Gordon Moore, has spread chips from expensive mainframes in the 1960s to personal computers in the 1980s and now to smartphones, watches,…
