  • Gordon Moore

    Gordon Moore
    Gordon Moore also, the co-founder of Intel and Fair child Semiconductor who stated large amount of transistors that integrated circuit which double every 2 years.

  • Moore's Law

    Moore's Law
    Moore law was an observation made that was coined in a paper written by Gordon Moore.

  • First Microprocessor

    Ted Hoff and Stanley Mazor makes the first microprocessor called the 4004 contains 2,300 transistors.Also, helped by Masatoshi Shima and Federico Faggin to help squeeze the transistors from 4-bit MPU to 16-pin package

  • First PC

    First PC
    Apple releases the first personal computer called the Apple ll.

  • IBM

    IBM releases their first PC and personal computing takes off.

  • 80286 Processor

    Intel create 134,000 transistors with the 80286 Processor.

  • 368 processor

  • Itanium 2 Processor

    Itanium 2 Processor
    Intel makes a chip with 220 million transistors.

  • Pentium 4 Processor with HT Technology

    Pentium 4 Processor with HT Technology
    Intel introduces Intel Pentium 4 Processor with HT Technology also has 125 million transistors

  • 90 Nanometers

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

  • Passing the Microchip Barrier

    The Amount of Transistors on a Microchip exceeds 1 billion

  • Intel Core i5 Processor

    Intel Core i5 Processor
    Intel intorduces the intel Core i5 Processor with 1 billion transisitors

  • Xbox one released!

    Xbox one released!
    Processor has 5 billion transistors which the Xbox one requires lots of computing and graphics power needing for more transistors

  • 5th generation Intel Core Processor

    Intel introduces the 5th generation intel Core Processor with 1.
    3 billion transistors

  • Moore's Law Collapses

    Scientists 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.
