Moore's Law Timeline

By tben2014

  • Integrated Circuit Invented

    Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce co-invent the integrated circuit.
  • Period: to

    Moore's Law

  • MOORE'S LAW

    The term Moore's Law is coined in a paper written by Gordon Moore, and Moore's Law is born.

  • First Microprocessor

    Ted Hoff makes the first microprocessor, it contains 2,300 transistors.

  • First PC

    Apple releases the first personal computer.

  • IBM is the best

    IBM releases their first PC and personal computing takes off.

  • Transistors

    Intel creates a microprocessor with 275,000 transistors.

  • More Transistors

    Intel makes the Pentuium Pro Processor, with 5.5 million transistors.

  • Great Birth

    Ben Taylor, savior of Earth, is born

  • Way More Transistors

    Intel makes a chip with 220 million transistors.

  • 90 Nanometers

    Intel creates a chip containing 125 million transistors, but the chip is only 90 nanometers thick!

  • Passing the Threshold

    The Amount of Transistors on a Microchip exceeds 1 billion

  • Moore's Law Collapses

    It s predicted that by 2040, this exponential growth in computer power will stop, and computer strength will stop growing. Something will have to fill the gap.
