TL;DR

Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel and pioneer in the semiconductor industry, has died at the age of 94. Moore is best known for his prediction in 1965 that the number of transistors on microchips would double every year, known as "Moore's Law," which helped drive much of the world's technological progress for half a century. Despite recent challenges to the law's validity, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger believes it still holds true. Moore was also a philanthropist, donating billions to environmental causes and his alma mater, the California Institute of Technology.
