Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel, has passed away at 94.
In 1965, he predicted that the number of transistors that could be placed on a silicon chip would double at regular intervals into the foreseeable future, increasing data-processing power exponentially. This came to be called Moore’s Law.
Moore later added that the evolving technology would make computers more expensive to build, but consumers would be able to pay less bc so many would be sold. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/24/obituaries/gordon-moore-dead.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
