Intel has leaned on the principles behind Moore's Law to drive strategic planning and development for decades. Tell the interviewer what you know about this concept.

Karrie Day

Remember to communicate that Moore's Law was originally an observation of Gordon Moore, who co-founded Intel. Interviewers value candidates who can demonstrate knowledge of their company's history in addition to industry knowledge.

Karrie Day

"Moore's Law is an observation about the number of transistors within a microchip and the impact on the capability of technology. The latest observation was that the capacity doubles every two years. The observation was originally made by the co-founder of Intel and is used today as a strategic planning principle for many companies."

Karrie Day

"I am not sure of the specific details of Moore's Law, but I believe it is related to semiconductors. The majority of my professional background lies in technology consulting, and I am confident I will be able to learn the specifics of Moore's Law and how I can apply it to the XYZ role if given the opportunity."
