His memory will live on," Mr Gelsinger added on Twitter. "He was instrumental in revealing the power of transistors, and inspired technologists and entrepreneurs across the decades," said Intel chief executive Pat Gelsinger. Mr Moore was a giant in the technological transformation of the modern age, helping companies bring evermore powerful chips to smaller and smaller computers.

Moore, a modern technological transformation pioneer, helped companies bring more powerful chips to smaller computers.

“May he rest in peace.” “I was very fortunate to get into the semiconductor industry in its infancy. An engineer by training, he co-founded Intel in July 1968, eventually serving as president, chief executive and chairman of the board. His memory will live on,” Gelsinger added on Twitter. “It sure is nice to be at the right place at the right time,” Moore said in an interview around 2005. And I had an opportunity to grow from the time where we couldn’t make a single silicon transistor to the time where we put 1.7 billion of them on one chip!

Moore predicted the growth of computing power two decades before the PC revolution and 40 years before the launch of Apple and the iPhone.

Following the article, microchips became more efficient and less expensive. "And I had an opportunity to grow from the time where we couldn't make a single silicon transistor to the time where we put 1.7 billion of them on one chip! In a 2005 interview, Moore said of his career: "I was very fortunate to get into the semiconductor industry in its infancy. Co-creator of the American tech company Intel in 1968, Moore was one of the engineers to put "Intel Inside" processors in more than 80% of the world's personal computers. [Apple](https://news.sky.com/topic/apple-5875) and the [iPhone](https://news.sky.com/topic/iphone-7033), Moore wrote: "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 predicted the growth of computing power two decades before the PC revolution and 40 years before the launch of Apple and the iPhone.

In 1968, Noyce and Moore quit Fairchild, to start the memory chip company soon to be named Intel, an abbreviation of Integrated Electronics and their first hire was another Fairchild colleague, Andy Grove who went on to become the CEO. Moore earned his PhD in chemistry and physics at the California Institute of Technology and joined Fairchild Semiconductor Laboratory, in 1957 one of the earliest firms to manufacture commercially viable transistors and integrated circuits. The prediction of the trend was at least 20 years before the PC revolution and more than 40 years before Apple launched the iPhone which came to be known as “Moore’s Law”.

Gordon Moore, Intel co-founder and chip industry legend, dies at 94 (PCWorld)

Gordon Moore, the philanthropist and co-founder of Intel who became known for the "Moore's Law" which governed the chip industry, died Friday at 94.

Moore was known as much for his philanthropy as much as contributions to science, and the Gordon and Bettey Moore Foundation continues to work on initiatives to fund science, environmental conservation, patient care, and Bay Area science museums. I finally got accustomed to it enough that I can say it with a straight face.” Not a law but an axiom, Moore originally postulated the transistor density would double every year, a “law” that varied between 12 to 18 months or so for the remainder of his life. Corollaries to Moore’s Law also governed the number of transistors found on a chip, and suggested that a chipmaker moving to a new generation could reduce the power of the chip while keeping the speed the same, or use a similar amount of power but increase its speed. In 2017, The Chronicle of Philanthropy marked the two as California’s most generous donors, giving a total of $6.3 billion to “create positive outcomes for future generations.” Moore, a modest man, wasn’t fond of the term, either.
