Intel Corp co-founder, Gordon Moore who is also hailed as a pioneer for his work in the semiconductor industry and Silicon Valley has passed away at the age of 94 in Hawaii, United States. According to a statement by Intel and Moore’s family philanthropic foundation, he died on Friday (March 24) surrounded by family at his home.&nbsp;

Moore and his longtime colleague Robert Noyce co-founded Intel in July 1968, where the former initially served as executive vice president until 1975, when he became president and also went on to become the chief executive and chairman of the board.

In an article published around six decades ago, Moore noted that due to technological advancements, the number of transistors on microchips had roughly doubled every year since integrated circuits were invented a few years before.&nbsp;

“Integrated circuits will lead to such wonders as home computers – or at least terminals connected to a central computer – automatic controls for automobiles, and personal portable communications equipment,” Moore had written, as per Reuters.

The prediction of the trend was at least 20 years before the PC revolution and more than 40 years before Apple launched the iPhone which came to be known as “Moore’s Law”. The insight had become the core of the computer processor industry and is said to have influenced the PC revolution.&nbsp;

After his article, in 1965, chips rapidly became less expensive and more efficient which also helped in driving the world’s technological progress for nearly half a century. This allowed the advent of not just personal computers but the internet and Silicon Valley giants such as Apple, Facebook and Google.&nbsp;

According to reports, the number of transistors on microchips has nearly doubled every year since integrated circuits were invented a few years earlier. Notably, he had also gone on to revise the law and said the doubling would occur every two years.

Moore earned his PhD in chemistry and physics at the California Institute of Technology and joined Fairchild Semiconductor Laboratory, in 1957 one of the earliest firms to manufacture commercially viable transistors and integrated circuits. As the company grew, it led to the transformation of the peninsula of land south of San Francisco into what is now known as Silicon Valley.&nbsp;

In 1968, Noyce and Moore quit Fairchild, to start the memory chip company soon to be named Intel, an abbreviation of Integrated Electronics and their first hire was another Fairchild colleague, Andy Grove who went on to become the CEO. “All I was trying to do was get that message across, that by putting more and more stuff on a chip we were going to make all electronics cheaper”, said Moore in 2008. In the same year, he retired from Intel in 2008.&nbsp;

In 2023 Forbes magazine estimated Moore’s net worth at $7.2 billion. Notably, over his lifetime Moore has donated more than $5.1 billion to charitable causes through the foundation which he set up with his wife Betty, over two decades ago. Moore was also a longtime sport fisherman, pursuing his passion all over the world.&nbsp;

Apple is internally testing new models of the MacBook series with next-generation M2 chips as per a report published in Bloomberg.

The company's developer logs show that the US tech giant is using third-party apps for its testing.

It comes after Apple CEO Tim Cook said that the company is trying to develop more powerful computers using homegrown processors.

<div class="videoWrapper trancodeVideo"><iframe allowfullscreen="" autoplay="1" class="includeVideo" frameborder="0" height="350" src="https://www.wionews.com/videos/gravitas-apple-and-meta-gave-user-data-to-hackers-467554/embed" style="width:100%;max-width:560px;" width="560"></iframe></div>

The report hints that the company might be releasing the new products in the next few months.

Currently, at least nine Mac models with four different M2-based chips are being tested by Apple.

M2 chips are the successors to the M1 line that were launched in 2020 to accelerate machine learning (ML) tasks.

Following Apple's split with Intel Corp, the company has gradually replaced its chips with a more advanced line.

According to the logs which were corroborated by people familiar with the matter, Apple is also a Mac mini with an M1 Pro Chip.

The report states that Apple had used the same processor in the entry-level 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros.

Apple had introduced a faster chip for a new desktop in March. Its Mac division has resurged in the last two years during the coronavirus pandemic.

In the last fiscal year, the company had earned $35.2 billion in sales. This is approximately 10 per cent of Apple's entire business.

New microprocessors have been launched by Intel Corp, a device which includes a second-generation Xeon processor for data centres and a 10nm chip for wireless 5G base stations.

New microprocessors have been launched by Intel Corp, a device which includes a second-generation Xeon processor for data centres and a 10nm chip for wireless 5G base stations. Sales of server chips have been boosted after an increase in demand from cloud-computing companies, which has resulted in strong results from Intel and its rival AMD Corp. Also Read: Apple, Intel file antitrust case against SoftBank- Owned firm over patent practices The market for server chips has been dominated by Intel's Xeon chips, but the debut of its rival EPYC processors that earned positive reviews has allowed AMD to gain ground in the business. Though the new Xeon chips afford a better performance on the dollar as compared to its previous generation, Intel is confident that the 10nm chip, P5900, will help it become the leading silicon provider in base stations by 2021. 10nm and 7nm products will be launched by Intel in 2020, while AMD has already launched several chips based on the smaller 7nm architecture.

Though the company had intended to launch the new chip in Barcelona during the Mobile World Congress, the event was cancelled due to rising paranoia over the COVID-19 outbreak all over the world.

Apple Inc plans to issue bonds in Taiwan for the first time with the aim of raising $1 billion, sources familiar with the matter said. It will be joining a queue of big global names that have sold billions of dollars on the island`s busy debt market.&nbsp; 
The U.S. dollar bonds will have a tenor of 30 years, the sources told Reuters on Wednesday, speaking on condition of anonymity. Apple declined to comment when asked about the plan.&nbsp; 
Liquidity in the Taiwanese bond market is flush, with long-term buyers of debt, primarily life insurance firms, seeking creditworthy names and chasing higher yields. Blue-chip multinationals regularly issue dollar bonds of such size on the island, home to Apple`s supply chain. 
In December, U.S. chipmaker Intel Corp sold $915 million of 30-year bonds with yields of 4.7 percent. A month later, Global brewer Anheuser Busch InBev SA issued a $1.47 billion bond of the same maturity at 4.915 percent, according to Taiwan Over-The-Counter Exchange data.&nbsp; 
So far this year, upwards of $16 billion in new U.S. dollar bonds have been issued, already more than half of the $29 billion in U.S. dollar bonds sold for all of 2015, OTC exchange data shows.&nbsp; 
Taiwan`s over-the-counter exchange, where corporate bonds can trade in the secondary market, said it was not aware of any plan by Apple to issue bonds. In Taiwan, bond issuers only need three days or less to notify the exchange before being listed.&nbsp; 
Market participants have been looking at initial yields of around 4.2 percent to 4.3 percent on the planned Apple bonds, two of the sources said.&nbsp; 
The island`s 30-year government bond, which is less liquid in the secondary market, was last quoted around 1.6475 percent. 
The planned Apple bonds will not be redeemable for the first two years, two of the sources said, citing market participants that had made enquiries.
