Gordon Moore is an American engineer and co-founder of Intel Corporation, a leading technology company known for its microprocessors. He is best known for formulating Moore's Law, which predicts that the number of transistors on a microchip would double approximately every two years, leading to exponential increases in computing power. Born on January 3, 1929, Moore earned a degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley and a Ph.D. from Stanford University. His contributions to the semiconductor industry have significantly influenced modern computing and technology, making him a key figure in the development of the digital age.
