Moore predicted that this trend of cost-effective miniaturization would continue for quite some time. Two years later Moore co-founded Intel Corporation with Robert Noyce. Today, Intel is the largest producer of semiconductor computer chips in the world, and Moore is a multi-billionaire. All this can be traced back to the semiconductor industry’s vigorous effort to realize Moore’s prediction, which is now known… ]]> Wed, 16 Dec 2009 18:05:00 -0700 http://seedmagazine.com/content/article/the_outer_limits
