Intel cofounder Gordon Moore dies

The pioneer of computing, best known for ‘Moore’s law’, has died at the age of 94.

The pioneer of computing, best known for ‘Moore’s law’, has died at the age of 94. Moore’s work at Intel helped pave the way for the personal computer revolution. We discuss his life and career with the president of his charitable foundation, Harvey Fineberg.

Also on the programme: King Charles III postpones his state visit to France amidst widespread unrest in Paris over an increase to the state pension age; and the conviction of Indian opposition leader Rahul Gandhi for a joke implying prime minister Narendra Modi was a thief.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss all this and more are writer, broadcaster and ‘lapsed comedian’ Timandra Harkness and Michael Reid, a journalist and author specialising in Spain and Latin America.
