Co-founder of Intel and Computing Pioneer Gordon Moore Dies at Age 94
Gordon Moore, the co-founder of chipmaker Intel and the visionary behind "Moore's Law," passed away on Friday at the age of 94.
Moore's prediction about the computing power of computer chips revolutionized the tech industry and became a guiding principle for decades to come. In 1965, Moore predicted that the number of transistors on a chip would double every year. Later, he adjusted his forecast to a doubling every two years. This prediction inspired tech companies like Intel to strive for this doubling every two years.
Moore's Law is still a topic of discussion among experts, who are debating how long it will remain relevant. In his later years, Moore focused on philanthropy and co-founded the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation with his wife. The foundation promotes science, nature conservation, patient care, and cultural heritage preservation in the Bay Area and Silicon Valley tech region. With a net worth of $7.2 billion, Gordon Moore's legacy will continue to impact the tech industry and society as a whole.
