Read this paragraph from "The Amazing Transistor."

Gordon Moore thought that continually improving technology would result in the number of transistors that could fit on a microchip doubling every eighteen months. What is a microchip? A microchip is an engine that performs tasks. It acts as a "home" to transistors. The transistors are placed on microchips, and together they do things that they are programmed to do. But how could double the number of transistors fit on the same size chip?

What key detail in this paragraph best supports the central idea of the whole selection?
