AMD’s Chuck Moore has passed away
- benatkin 15y agoCan anyone find a Wikipedia article about him? It sure seems he's notable enough to have one.
- wingo 15y agoI look forward to seeing articles on Moore's work; I did not have the pleasure of knowing him. In the meantime, this headline had me a little confused, thinking of the chip designer Chuck Moore who was Forth's creator. It doesn't seem that this is the same Moore. Just FYI :)
- thrill 15y agoThank you for that clarification - I was wondering if it was the same man as invented Forth.
- RBerenguel 15y agoI also wondered for a while (checking wikipedia and work...). May he rest in peace, even if from that little article I didn't get to know what advancements he was responsible of (and I'm now quite curious about)
- TazeTSchnitzel 15y agoI wondered if it was the person who coined Moore's law, he's not that either.
- paulsmith 15y agoIntel co-founder Gordon is the Moore of Moore's Law.
- sek 15y agoThis is probably not the right moment, but kinda funny that AMD has also an important person called Moore.
- yurisagalov 15y agoFWIW, Moore is the 9th[1] most common name in the United States. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore_(surname) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore_(surname)
- vidarh 15y agoJust to further make it easy to confuse the two, the Forth-inventor Chuck Moore is also involved in chip design these days (at Green Arrays - a company doing embedded heavily multi-core chips running a forth-like instruction set)
- diminish 15y agoUsing my laptop with AMD fusion processor, I wish Chuck Moore to rest in peace.
- winestock 15y agoFor anyone else who is confused, this is not the same Chuck Moore who invented the Forth programming language. As the title states, this is the Chuck Moore of AMD.
- chuinard 15y agoThis is not the person who coined Moore's law either.
- muddylemon 15y agoAlso, not the guy who played James Bond in the 70s
- drallison 15y agoChuck was a friend. He was a brilliant guy. He will be missed. -d
- DiabloD3 15y agoAsk PG: Can we get a HN black bar for him today?

- akkartik 15y agoThis is terrible news. I got to work with Chuck Moore in grad school. I was a PhD student when he was a senior member of our research group. At the time he'd already led the design of IBM's Power4, the first multicore processor. http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/mercurynews/obituary.aspx?n=charles-moore&pid=157406820&fhid=6744 http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/mercurynews/obituary.aspx?n...
- adavies42 15y agoDamn, what is it about pancreatic cancer and tech giants?
- evoxed 15y agoMust be something in the silicon. (on a lighter note) It's sad that it's happening so young, wasn't Mr. Moore just a bit over 50?
- bandy 15y agoThe tap water in Silicon Valley is generally terrible - a legacy of [a] not enough water in California and [b] the industrial legacy of turning "The Valley of the Heart's Delight" into a manufacturing center.
