Gordon Moore, Intel Corp. Co-founder died on March 24 at the age of 94.
He was a pioneer in the semiconductor industry whose “Moore’s Law” predicted a steady rise in computing power for decades.
He was a rolled-up sleeves engineer within a triumvirate of technology luminaries that eventually put “Intel Inside” processors in more than 80% of the world’s personal computers.
In 1965, he observed that the number of transistors on microchips had doubled every year since integrated circuits were invented a few years before.
His prediction on the trend would continue became known as “Moore’s Law”.
From 1979 to 1987 Moore was chairman and CEO of Intel Corp. and he remained chairman until 1997. Moore received a Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, from President George W. Bush in 2002.
