Gordon Moore, Intel co-founder and Moore’s Law author, dies at 94.
Cofounder of Intel which developed the 1st microprocessor chip, the 4004 in early 1970's.
Although the capacities of this device is laughable by today's standards (2300 transistors vs today's latest with almost 7 Billion with a frequency of 750KHz vs today's 5.80 GHz — for ref a K is 1000 and a G is 1,000,000,000), it started a technology that has dramatically changed the world forever.
It's said that if the same advancement happened in the automotive industry, that you would buy a car for $1 plus another couple bucks for a nonrefillable 2 gal gasoline fuel tank, you could drive it at 200mph and you would put it out for the trash after 100,000 miles or when it got dirty (whichever came 1st).
