Intel co-founder Moore was awarded the IEEE Medal for Meritorious Service

September 9 news, IEEE has decided to grant Intel co-founder and honorary chairman Gordon Moore IEEE Medal for Meritorious Service.

IEEE Foundation granted the award is to recognize Moore in the IC process technology play a pioneering role, and the MOS memory, microprocessors and semiconductor development of the leadership position. IEEE will be September 20 in Quebec, Canada in the IEEE award presentation ceremony held on to Moore Awards.

Moore was Intel's chairman and CEO, is now retired. 1968, Moore and others co-founded Intel, initially as executive vice president in 1975 as president and CEO, he took up the post of CEO until 1987, and in 1997 was appointed honorary chairman.

Moore "Moore's Law" and famous. In 1965, he forecast in the industry to install a computer chip in each of the component count will be doubled. In 1975, he will update the original forecast to double every two years. Today, Moore's Law has become the semiconductor industry to provide increasingly powerful chips, electronic equipment while reducing the cost of guiding principles.

Moore was in 1950, the University of California, Berkeley chemistry degree, and in 1954 was the California Institute of Technology chemistry and physics doctorate.

Moore incumbent director of Gilead Sciences, the U.S. National Academy of Engineering members, the Royal Society of Engineers and academicians. Moore is also the California Institute of Technology Council positions. In 1990, he won the U.S. National Medal of Technology, and in 2002 won the U.S. President George W.
