Intel co-founder Gordon Moore passed away at the age of 94. Semiconductor industry pioneer, Moore co-founded the company in 1968. He is the man who gets the highest credit of essentially putting Intel processors in about 80% of the world’s personal computers.
In an article in 1965, Moore predicted that with improvements in technology, the number of transistors on microchips had roughly doubled every year since integrated circuits were invented a few years before.

This prediction became “Moore’s Law”, helping the company focus their research and development resources in this direction.
“Integrated circuits will lead to such wonders as home computers – or at least terminals connected to a central computer – automatic controls for automobiles, and personal portable communications equipment,” Moore wrote in his paper, cited by news agency Reuters.
Chips have now become more efficient and less expensive – something that has helped drive the world’s technological progress bringing fortunes for companies like Apple, Facebook and Google.
