Intel searching for their founder’s golden words: Moore’s Law

40 years ago, Intel’s founder, Gordon Moore, made his famous forecast that the computer chip performance would double every year or two. It has been since then come to be known as the Moore’s Law. It has been proved to be one of those rare forecasts, which came true for quite a long time. Now, the company is looking for the original copies of those golden words. And where else… On eBay!

Intel Corp. has launched a hunt for an original copy of the April 19, 1965, issue of Electronics magazine in good condition and has announced a prize amount of USD 10,000 on it. It was this particular issue where Gordon’s famous words were printed.

The magazine company is now history and the company lacks the original piece of document signifying important part of Tech History. Moore himself lent out his copy and lost track of it as per an Intel’s statement. This has made the tech giant call the best place to search for such kind of historical gem on the planet, the eBay.

An Intel statement said: “We’re kind of hopeful that it will start a bit of a scavenger hunt for the engineering community of Silicon Valley, and hopefully somebody has it tucked away in a box in the corner of their garage. We think it’s an important piece of history, and we’d love to have an original copy.”

The official posting of this wanted item can be seen here on the eBay website!
