Gordon Moore (pictured), a semiconductor pioneer and Intel Corp’s co-founder, has passed away at the age of 94.
Moore's journey in the semiconductor industry began in the 1950s and culminated with him co-founding Intel with colleague Robert Noyce in 1968.
His lasting legacy and influence on the industry were cemented by his 1965 prediction known as Moore's Law, which revolutionised the market with its assertion that transistors on an integrated circuit would double annually.
Upon Moore's passing, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger lauded Moore for having “defined the technology industry through his insight and vision”.
He said: “Pat was instrumental in revealing the power of transistors, and inspired technologists and entrepreneurs across the decades.
“We at Intel remain inspired by Moore’s Law and intend to pursue it until the periodic table is exhausted. Gordon’s vision lives on as our true north as we use the power of technology to improve the lives of every person on Earth.”
