San Francisco: Gordon Moore, the co-founder of technology giant Intel Corporation, died on Friday at the age of 94. Moore died Friday at his home in Hawaii, according to Intel and the Gordon and Batty Moore Foundation.
Moore, a Ph.D. in chemistry and physics, made an important observation in 1968, three years before he helped start Intel, that was later declared ‘Moore’s Law’. He was instrumental in the design and manufacturing of semiconductor chips. Moore said in relation to the computer chip that the capacity and complexity of the integrated circuit (IC) would double every year. This concept later proved to be the standard for the progress and innovation of the technology industry.
Gordon Moore was an influential name in Silicon Valley. Gordon Earle Moore was born on January 3, 1929, in San Francisco. On Moore’s death, Apple CEO Tim Cook and Google CEO Sundar Pichai shared a post on Twitter remembering him. Pichai wrote, RIP Gordon Moore. His vision inspired many of us to pursue technology and was an inspiration to me.
We owe it all to those who followed him: Tim Cook
The world has lost a legend in Gordon Moore, a founding father of Silicon Valley and a true visionary who helped pave the way for a technological revolution, wrote Apple CEO Tim Cook. All of us who followed him are indebted to him. May his soul rest in peace.
