Intel Co-Founder and 'Moore's Law' Author Gordon Moore Dies at 94.

Gordon Moore, the co-founder of Intel and pioneer of the tech industry, has passed away at the age of 94. Moore is best known for his observation known as Moore's Law, which predicted that the number of transistors on an integrated circuit would double every year. He was also a member of the "traitorous eight" who left Shockley Semiconductor to form Fairchild Semiconductor, and later founded Intel with Robert Noyce. Moore's philanthropic efforts included establishing the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, which has donated over $5.1 billion to charitable causes.

Intel Co-Founder Gordon Moore Passes Away at 94.

Gordon Moore, the co-founder of Intel and the man who predicted the growth of the semiconductor industry with his famous observation known as "Moore's Law," has died at the age of 94. Moore's Law stated that the capacity and complexity of integrated circuits would double every year, becoming a standard for the tech industry's progress and innovation. Moore later became known for his philanthropy when he and his wife established the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, which focuses on environmental conservation, science, patient care, and projects in the San Francisco Bay area.

Intel Co-Founder Gordon Moore Dies at 94, Leaving Legacy of 'Moore's Law'

Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel and creator of "Moore's Law," has passed away at 94. He and Robert Noyce founded Intel in 1968, and Moore's prediction that the number of transistors on an integrated circuit would double every year proved accurate. Moore served as CEO and chairman of the board at Intel before stepping down in 2006 and establishing the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation with $5 billion in funding. The foundation supported environmental conservation efforts and donated to science and technology departments at educational institutions.

Intel Co-Founder and 'Moore's Law' Creator Gordon E. Moore Passes Away at 94

Gordon E. Moore, co-founder of Intel and creator of Moore's Law, has died at the age of 94. Moore was a pioneer in the creation of the integrated circuit and helped put the silicon in Silicon Valley. He was known for his blend of technical and financial risk-taking, which guided Intel to become one of the greatest technological powerhouses of the 20th century. Moore's Law, which predicted that the number of transistors on a chip would double every 18 to 24 months, became the credo of the electronic world and a slogan of the digerati eagerly awaiting the next great thing.

Intel Co-Founder Gordon Moore Passes Away at 94

Gordon E. Moore, co-founder and former chairman of Intel Corporation, has died at the age of 94. Moore was a key figure in the development of the microchip industry and is best known for his prediction in 1965, known as Moore's Law, that the number of transistors on a silicon chip would double at regular intervals, thus increasing the data-processing power of computers exponentially. He was also a major figure in philanthropy, having created the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation with his wife in 2001.

Intel Co-Founder Gordon Moore Passes Away at 94

Gordon E. Moore, co-founder of Intel and a pioneer in the design and manufacture of semiconductor chips, died at the age of 94. Moore famously predicted in 1965 that computer power would double each year for a decade, a forecast he modified in the mid-1970s to every two years, which became known as Moore's Law. He was a central figure in the history of electronics and his innovations helped launch Silicon Valley. Moore's Law became the driving force in computer technology for the next half-century, and Intel led the rapid advance.

Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel and pioneer in the semiconductor industry, has died at the age of 94. Moore is best known for his prediction in 1965 that the number of transistors on microchips would double every year, known as "Moore's Law," which helped drive much of the world's technological progress for half a century. Despite recent challenges to the law's validity, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger believes it still holds true. Moore was also a philanthropist, donating billions to environmental causes and his alma mater, the California Institute of Technology.
