your childhood PCs would not have been possible without his contributions
thank you Gordon, for all the fun and games we continue to have with out PCs due to your inventions
he predicted that the performance of computers will practically double each year

Intel's co-founder inspired Noyce's Law, which predicted the dramatic increases of his last name following a South Park episode.

Per the chart: 'Intel ignites the trend of personal computing'. I seem to remember that credit to the Apple Macintosh, and for good reason.

Clever dude. That’s the law where post the wrong thing to get the right answer.

Moores law can actually can be extended the other direction if you extend it to the Atanasoff Berry Computer in 1942 it still holds up.

He an Intel co-founder Robert Noyce, the actual inventor of the integrated circuit, made Silicon Valley a thing

I'll always remember him from that Billy Idol song. "In the midnight hour, she cried Moore Moore Moore."

He looks like the bad guy from Robocop.

It apparently paused for a few years ~2015 while they changed fabrication techniques but is back (now doubling every two years).
Edowyth
It's kind of being cheated nowadays with multiple cores instead of pushing it all on one core... And we're getting really close to the limit
Edowyth
with our current designs: electrons kind of just hop around if you place the "wires" much closer than they are currently. So, even if you
Edowyth
allow for multi-core and 3d placement of transistors, we're still approaching the end of it. Brilliant projection, but it is ending.

Read Chip War. Pretty good rundown

So, Moore's Law is dead then?

Lol intel is basically dead so just about

Crazy facts…

There can be only one. No Moore.

What’s with the mannequins in the top article? Was he into some weird stuff?

What good is a computer if you can’t fuck it?!?

He was an avid Real Doll collector

I'm somewhat disappointed anybody upvoted this… It was terrible…

What I’m the hell is that graph?? Are both axis years? How does that work?
somnif
It's a graph of years per year, seems fairly straight forward really.

Syrpynt
Quatum computing is achievable at near (absolute) 0°K, No one is getting this hardware small+affordable enough for retail consumers.
Syrpynt
Especially when it goes directly against efficiency, environmentally-friendly needs, and a growing 1st world consumer population.
Syrpynt
Quantum computing may be possible for businesses + government entities, but the cost & downsides is too great for making it consumer-grade.
djangojazz
on last three machines I built it was more about faster RAM, M2 fast NVME HDD, and GPUs with super fast RAM and clock speed.
BaloneyBob
He’ll be twice as dead next year.
aShogunNamedMarcus
This comment will be just as savage
Smayds
Or, he'll be the same amount of dead, at half the price.
Sonicschilidogs
Just think of how dead he'll be in 30 years

I thought he died exponentially?
TallynNyntyg
No, it was updated - he'll be twice as dead in *two* years. Read the flippin' graph!
AxellTheDragon
TallynNyntyg
Exactly!
michaeloberg
NO - he predicted the *surface density of logic gates* will double. Not performance
suckstoyourauntie
I've always been fascinated by graphene, and wondered how/when it might be used for things like this. But, I'm just a pleb, I have no idea.
Spidey209
But common culture extended this to other computer metrics such as storage space, number of triangles a gfx card could render etc.
shastaRed
DarkSock
The surface density of your left nostril will double every two years
Atomic2
And every 2 years, not every year. So roughly 1.4x each year.
somnif
His initial 1965 paper said every year, he revised it later on.
viila
And we have to this day roughly continued doubling the number of gates, but have long since fallen off the performance curve.
michaeloberg
Exactly - it's why we see 12+ cores (what else are you going to do with all that space?) but a peak of around 4-5GHz. Need a diff substrate
bhobby1212
Now comes quantum entanglement
YouMayFindThisMildlyInteresting
I believe it was an observation not a prediction.
AllTheGoodOnesWereGone
Because no sane person would believe that what was about to happen could actually happen for the next 50 years.
michaeloberg
Not true, physicists knew then the limits of silicon, so could project out to those limits. Question was if we could ever get there. We did
