Intel Corp co-founder Gordon Moore, a pioneer in the semiconductor industry whose Moore's Law predicted a steady rise in computing power for decades, has died aged 94.
His prediction that the number of transistors on microchips roughly doubled every year became known as Moore's LawIntel and Mr Moore's family philanthropic foundation said he died on Friday surrounded by family at his home in Hawaii.
His prediction that the trend would continue became known as Moore's Law and, later amended to every two years, helped push Intel and rival chipmakers to aggressively target their research and development resources to ensure that rule of thumb came true. Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation president Harvey Fineberg said those who met and worked with Mr Moore would "forever be inspired by his wisdom, humility and generosity"."Though he never aspired to be a household name, Gordon's vision and his life's work enabled the phenomenal innovation and technological developments that shape our everyday lives. Yet those historic achievements are only part of his legacy," Mr Fineberg said.
