Talk:Gordon Moore/Archives/2013

Untitled

It says there that "Moore was born in San Francisco, California". Well, technically that may be true (he was delivered in a Frisco hospital), but the fact is that Moore's hometown is not Frisco, but rather Pescadero (about 30-50 miles south of Frisco, if my memory serves me right).

See for example March 3, 1995 (Los Altos Hills, California) interview with Moore (available here : http://www-sul.stanford.edu/depts/hasrg/histsci/silicongenesis/moore-ntb.html ) :

"Moore : I was born actually in San Francisco only because it was the nearest hospital to Pescadero, a little farm town kind of community. Pescadero was really my home town."

Or the March 16, 2000 interview (Santa Clara,California) interview (available here : http://www.cwheroes.org/oral_history_archive/gordon_moore/oral_history.pdf ) :

"Moore : I'm Gordon Earle Moore, born in San Francisco on January 3rd, 1929, San Francisco only because it was the nearest hospital. My hometown is actually Pescadero, a small farm community forty or fifty miles south of San Francisco."

If Moore himself repeatedly took the time to emphasize that Frisco only got mentioned due to the hospital availability issue, then I think it'd only be logical to mention Pescadero in this article on Wikipedia...

Manual of Style#"See also" and "Related topics" sections says "Mostly, topics related to an article should be included within the text of the article as free links." Edward 22:02, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I did some research on Moore, and wrote an 'egh' quality paper on him. I may be willing to share the content of the paper (I don't know if I'm exactly proud of it), but below are a list of links I found that would definitely be useful. I'm sorry I don't exactly have more time to do the work myself, but I'd figure I'd at least drop a line on the resources I found.

Roles

"He co-founded Intel Corporation in July of 1968, serving as Executive Vice President until 1975 when he became President and Chief Executive Officer. In April 1979, Dr. Moore became Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, holding that position until April 1987, when he became Chairman of the Board. He was named Chairman Emeritus of Intel Corporation in 1997."

Huh? I don't understand the order of his roles. Perhaps:

• 1968 - 1975 : Executive Vice President
• 1975 - ? : President, Chief Executive Officer
• April 1979 - April 1987 : Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer (repetition??)
• April 1987 - ? : Chairman of the Board (another repetition??)
• 1997 - today : Chairman Emeritus

Can you see the repetitions? Yonidebest 10:42, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Intel's official bio is more clear. The implication is that in 1979 he ceased to be president but continued to be CEO, also taking on the role of chairman of the board. In 1987 he stopped serving as CEO but remained chairman, until 1997 when he became chairman emeritus (and presumably nothing else). He is no longer listed on their pages of corporate officers or board of directors, only "co-founder". — Aluvus t/c 03:26, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
