The 40th Anniversary of Moore's Law with Gordon Moore, Co-founder and Chairman Emeritus, Intel, in conversation with Carver Mead, Chairman and Founder, Foveon

This year marks the 40th anniversary of Moore’s Law, Gordon E. Moore's 1965 observation and prediction about the exponential growth in the power of semiconductor technology. Moore observed that semiconductor technology had doubled in power every year and predicted that it would continue along this developmental path. Originally named Moore's Law several years later by the physicist Carver Mead, that simple observation has proven to be the bulwark of the world's most remarkable industry. In 1975, Moore updated this to a doubling about every two years. History has thus far proven Moore's law correct, and this special conversation between Moore and Mead looks back on the past 40 years on what has made this electronics revolution possible.
