Gordon E. Moore is retired chairman of Intel Corporation. He co-founded Intel in 1968, serving initially as Executive Vice President before becoming President and Chief Executive Officer in 1979. He remained CEO until 1987 and was named Chairman Emeritus in 1997. Dr. Moore is widely known for "Moore's Law," in which in 1965 he predicted that the number of components the industry would be able to place on a computer chip would double every year. In 1975, he updated his prediction to once every two years. It has become the guiding principle for the semiconductor industry to deliver ever-more-powerful chips while decreasing the cost of electronics. Dr. Moore earned a B.S. in chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley, and a Ph.D. in chemistry and physics from California Institute of Technology. He is a director of Gilead Sciences, Inc., a member of the National Academy of Engineering, and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Engineers. Dr. Moore also serves on the Board of Trustees of the California Institute of Technology. He received the National Medal of Technology from President George Bush in 1990 and the Medal of Freedom from George W. Bush in 2002.
