You know the one that says the number of transistors in a CPU will double every 2 years...
Published in 1964, that would make 20 two year cycles...or a bit over 1 TRILLION transistors in a cpu, assuming the first one (in 1964) had 2.
Well, Intel offered a $10000 reward for a mint condition copy of Electronics Magazine where the article was first printed. This guy got the reward.
