Gordon Moore Quotes
23 quotes from Gordon Moore — Co-founder of Intel and author of Moore's Law (transistor density doubles every ~2 years), which predicted the pace of….
“The number of transistors on a microchip doubles about every two years, though the cost of computers is halved.”
“No exponential is forever...but we can delay 'forever.”
“The future of integrated electronics is the future of electronics itself.”
“The most important applications of the integrated circuit will be those which we cannot now foresee.”
“The technology at the leading edge changes so rapidly that you have to keep current after you get out of school. I think probably the most important thing is having good fundamentals.”
“With engineering, I view this year's failure as next year's opportunity to try it again. Failures are not something to be avoided.”
“If the auto industry advanced as rapidly as the semiconductor industry, a Rolls Royce would get half a million miles per gallon, and it would be cheaper to throw it away than to park it.”
“I had no idea this was going to be an accurate prediction, but amazingly enough instead of 10 [years] doubling, we got nine over the 10 years, but still followed pretty well along the curve.”
“The complexity for minimum component costs has increased at a rate of roughly a factor of two per year.”
“It is extremely unlikely that anyone coming out of school with a technical degree will go into one area and stay there.”
“One thing a leader does is to remove the stigma of mistakes.”
“If everything you try works, you aren't trying hard enough.”
“The number of transistors on a microchip doubles about every two years, though the cost of computers is halved.”
“No exponential is forever...but we can delay 'forever'.”
“The future of integrated electronics is the future of electronics itself.”
