In 1965 he developed what came to be known as Moore’s Law, which predicted that the number of transistors that could be placed on a single chip would double every 18 months.

Of course, AI isn’t alive, it’s simply an enormous amount of math being shuffled through an enormous amount of transistors — but our emotions don’t know that.

When we first started using Ge to make those transistors for fuzzy guitars (indeed, an early use) the technique was to burn coal, carefully collect the exhaust gases and refine Ge out of that.

While Noyce had theories about how to solve chip engineering problems, Moore was the person who rolled up his sleeves and spent countless hours tweaking transistors and refining Noyce’s broad and sometimes ill-defined ideas, efforts that often paid off.
