                Fairchild Semiconductor Corp. when he wrote his famous
                forecast, in the 35th anniversary issue of <SPAN class="italic">Electronics</SPAN> magazine.
                He predicted that the number of transistors
                manufacturers would be able to put on a chip would
                double every year. At the time, a state-of-the-art chip
                had about 50 transistors. In 1975, Moore revised the
                doubling period to two years, thinking that the pattern
                would last at most a decade longer. To his surprise, it
                still holds true today, as a new Intel chip, code-named
                Tukwila, hits the market with 2 billion transistors.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/827C3DD3-EFB4-41D6-BDD7-7EF2D9C53722/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
