Microchip's Today

Intel has improved the microchip throughout the years, and now it can do things that people never imagined. There are over 560 million transistors in a chip that is about the size of your finger tip. The chips allow you to use the internet and have a conversation on the phone. The fact that you are able to call someone in a matter of 5 seconds even if they are on the other side of the world is a bigger deal than people realize. Although Moore's Law influenced all of this, Moore's Law is not in action today because to double the amount of transistors in the current chip is quite a lot. 


Intel's Impact

The transistor, microprocessor, and Moore's Law have all been adopted by many companies, but specifically in Silicon Valley. Silicon Valley is a region that is home to many technology companies like Intel, Apple, Google, Fairchild Semiconductors, and even William Shockley's Business in Palo Alto. The valley is not a physical place, but it is home to lots of intelligence. The valley has adopted the ways of Moore's Law, OKR's and even the physical things like transistor and microprocessor. All of this somehow points back to Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore, and most importantly, Intel.
