Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel Corp., published his now iconic article — Cramming More Components into Integrated Circuits — in the journal Electronics on April 19, 1965. In this paper, Moore observed that the number of transistors fitting on a computer circuit board had roughly doubled each year. A decade later the time-scale was revised to 18-24 months and dubbed "Moore's Law." Following this principle, a computer purchased today would cost about half the price in two years. Processing is now down to one-sixtieth the cost it was a decade ago. (INTEL FREE PRESS/Wikimedia Commons) Intel co-founders Gordon Moore and Robert Noyce meeting in Intel's offices in 1970. The operation of Moore's Law over the past 50 years has changed the world in enormous ways. The resilience of his observation has been equally impressive.
