Gordan Moore
Engineer, Inventor and
Co-founder of Intel Corporation
Inventor of " Moore's Law "
The observation made in 1965 by Gordon Moore, Engineer and co-founder of Intel,
that the number of transistors per square inch on integrated circuits had
doubled every year since the integrated circuit was invented. Moore predicted
that this trend would continue for the foreseeable future. In subsequent years,
the pace slowed down a bit, but data density has doubled approximately every
18 months, and this is the current definition of Moore's Law, which Moore
himself has blessed. Most experts, including Moore himself, expect Moore's
Law to hold for at least another two decades.
