Remembering the Legacy of Trailblazing Technologist Gordon Moore

Cars That Think

His original hypothesis, published in a 1965 Electronics magazine article , was that the number of transistors would double each year. The company created the first commercially available microprocessor, the 4004 , in 1971. Intel helped cement the region as a global center for technological innovation, the article says.
