1965: An IC that cost $1000 in 1959 now costs less ... Its mission is to explore the "architecture of information." Fairchild Semiconductor introduces a 256-bit RAM chip in 1970.

But over in California, another man had similar ideas. In January of 1959, Robert Noyce was working at the small Fairchild Semiconductor startup company. He also realized a whole circuit could be ...
