Gordon Moore (1929–2023), tech giant and creator of Moore’s Law

Gordon Moore’s legacy as co-founder of Intel alone made him a giant in the tech industry, helping launch one of the most successful and influential companies in the world. However, it may be the principle named after him, Moore’s Law, which will prove to be his true legacy. In layman’s terms, Moore’s Law posits that semiconductor technology will double in complexity each year (later revised to every two years). The idea held from 1975 at least into the 2010s.
