When did Gordon Moore first postulate Moore's Law? Quoting from
"Computer Structures" by Siewiorek, Bell, and Newell p. 64:
In 1964, Gorden [sic] E. Moore, then director of research at
Fairchild Semiconductor, predicted that the component count per
IC chip would double every year.
Unfortunately there is no reference. Anyone have a definitive answer?
