Gordon E. Moore
1929-
American chemist who advanced in 1965 what is now known as Moore's law. Moore's law states that the number of circuits that can be printed on computer chips (and therefore their processing power) will double every 18 months. This prediction has proved phenomenally accurate. Moore has recently scaled down the doubling time of Moore's law to every two years. He is Chairman Emeritus of Intel Corporation, the computer chip company he co-founded in 1968.
