Intel CEO Brian Krzanich explained that if a 1971 Volkswagen Beetle had advanced at the pace of Moore’s law over the past 34 years, today “you would be able to go with that car 300,000 miles per hour. You would get two million miles per gallon of gas, and all that for the mere cost of four cents.” Autumn 1966 IBM researcher Robert H. Dennard hears a presentation by coworkers trying to improve magnetic core memory. That night, on his couch at home, he thinks, “What could I do that would be really simple?” Thinking of MOS technology, he realizes that a stored charge on a capacitor could represent a bit of information, while a transistor could control the writing of that charge. Shortly after, he proposes the single transistor/single capacitor (1T/1C) dynamic RAM, which eventually gives rise to a vast new industry.
