Moore predicted the growth of computing power two decades before the PC revolution and 40 years before the launch of Apple and the iPhone.
Microchip pioneer and Intel Corp co-founder Gordon Moore has died at the age of 94.
Co-creator of the American tech company Intel in 1968, Moore was one of the engineers to put"Intel Inside" processors in more than 80% of the world's personal computers.Moore described himself as an"accidental entrepreneur" having started Intel - the word's largest microchip manufacturer - with Robert Noyce.In a 1965 article, Moore predicted a steady rise in computing power due to rapid improvements in technology, which became known as"Moore's Law".
The law was updated every two years and helped push Intel and rival microchip-makers to aggressively target their research and development resources to make sure that came true.
