Pat Gelsinger, Intel CEO, said “Gordon Moore once said, ‘What can be done, can be outdone.’ As stewards of his law, Intel will work relentlessly to exponentially outdo what he & Robert Noyce set out to do. He leaves behind a legacy that changed the lives of every person on the planet. His memory will live on."
