Gordon Moore once said, “What can be done, can be outdone.” As stewards of his law, Intel will work relentlessly to exponentially outdo what he & Robert Noyce set out to do. He leaves behind a legacy that changed the lives of every person on the planet. His memory will live on.

Gordon was, in my experience at least, a wonderful human being. Had the pleasure of interviewing him a couple times. Kind, humble, brilliant and a good story teller. Made an observation that turned into the guiding commandment of our time. https://twitter.com/...

Today we lost one of the true giants of our field. Since his contributions spanned so many decades, few today realize how enormous Moore's impact on the entire industry was. “Moore's Law” was a vision and a message, not a law, and he made it real. 🧵 https://www.intc.com/...

I once got the opportunity to ask Gordon Moore a question, “what is the equivalent of Moore's Law for software?” His response, “number of bugs doubles every year”. Great man. https://www.intc.com/...

Intel co-founder Gordon Moore has passed away at the age of 94. He predicted Moore's Law, that the number of transistors in an integrated circuit doubles about every two years. He helped define a key era of the tech industry https://twitter.com/...

He deserves to be remembered for so much more than his law, though I feel lucky to have seen him discuss it at a great event Intel threw for its 50th anniversary in 2015. One of our last links to an industry's founding. RIP. https://twitter.com/...

A central figure in American technology and a cornerstone of the semiconductor industry. Gordon Moore was also responsible for Intel's decision to expand into Oregon. Intel renamed its Ronler Acres research campus in Hillsboro for Gordon Moore last year. https://twitter.com/...
