Gordon Earle Moore (January 3 1929 – March 24 2023) was an American businessman, engineer, and the co-founder and emeritus chairman of Intel Corporation. He proposed Moore's law which makes the observation that the number of transistors in an integrated circuit (IC) doubles about every two years.^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8]
