On April 19, 1965, Gordon Moore—chemist, semiconductor pioneer, and co-founder of Intel Corporation—published a paper in Electronics magazine titled “Cramming More Components onto Integrated Circuits.†In it he set forth the concept that became known as “Moore’s Law,†a principle that has propelled the digital revolution for half a century.
Moore’s Law is an observation that the number of transistors on microchips doubles roughly every two years – making electronics both less expensive and better — and has held true since Moore first made the prediction. The impact of Moore’s Law is computing that has become cheap, powerful and ubiquitous. In this, Gordon Moore has been both a visionary and prime mover of the Information Age.
In partnership with the Chemical Heritage Foundation, we will celebrate the 50th anniversary of Moore’s Law with a two-part symposium.
