The History of the Microcomputer - Invention and Evolution
Intel's founder, Robert Noyce, chartered Ted Hoff's Applications Research Department in 1969 to find new applications for silicon technology -the microcomputer was the result - written by Stanley Mazor.

Computers have changed in their ability in one simple dimension. They've become faster, and in a very predictable manner. The number of devices of a chip - that is the circuit elements in a logic circuit - Gordon Moore predicted with incredible perspicacity in 1965 to double every 18 months.

Federico Faggin
Microprocessor Concept and Architecture Patent No.: 3,821,715 - National Inventors Hall of Fame. Federico Faggin, currently CEO of Synaptics, led the design and development of the world's first microprocessor, the Intel 4004 and conceived and supervised the design of the landmark 8080, the first modern microprocessor.

Gordon Moore and Bob Noyce
Moore is widely known for "Moore's Law," in which he predicted that the number of transistors the industry would be able to place on a computer chip would double every year. In 1995, he updated his prediction to once every two years. While originally intended as a rule of thumb in 1965, it has become the guiding principle for the industry to deliver ever-more-powerful semiconductor chips at proportionate decreases in cost.
Moore earned a B.S. in Chemistry from the University of California at Berkeley and a Ph.D. in Chemistry and Physics from the California Institute of Technology. He was born in San Francisco, Calif., on Jan. 3, 1929.
