Moore’s law was a marketing road map for intel.

It was basically a monopolistic warning from one of the founders not to release new products too fast so the company wouldn’t burn out. It worked. But it’s not some scientific or physical law and I hate when people refer to it as such.

According to the article, Moore's Law predates the founding of Intel by several years.

Even more: It was about the price per transistor.

Not about transistor size of performance.

So it was an economic insight, more than anything else.

Did Moore law apply to other chip manufacturers too?

Intel can't dictate the technology advances of other competitors

Moore's law applied to transistor density, period. So memory and logic equally.
