50 Years of Moore's Law. Fueling Innovation We Love and Depend On
Intel Corporation, USA - April 2015 - In 1965, Gordon Moore made a prediction that would set the pace for our modern digital revolution. From careful observation of an emerging trend, Moore extrapolated that computing would dramatically increase in power, and decrease in relative cost, at an exponential pace. The insight, known as Moore's Law, became the golden rule for the electronics industry, and a springboard for innovation. As a co-founder, Gordon paved the path for Intel to make the ever faster, smaller, more affordable transistors that drive our modern tools and toys. Even 50 years later, the lasting impact and benefits are felt in many ways.

GE To Create Simpler, More Valuable Industrial Company By Selling Most GE Capital Assets More Than USD 90 Billion
Fairfield, Conn., USA - April 10, 2015 - GE (NYSE:GE) today announced that it will create a simpler, more valuable company by reducing the size of its financial businesses through the sale of most GE Capital assets and by focusing on continued investment and growth in its world-class industrial businesses. GE and its Board of Directors have determined that market conditions are favorable to pursue disposition of most GE Capital assets over the next 24 months except the financing "verticals" that relate to GE's industrial businesses. Under the plan, the GE Capital businesses that will remain with GE will account for about USD90 billion in ending net investments (ENI) excluding liquidity - about USD40 billion in the U.S. - with expected returns in excess of their cost of capital. As part of the execution of this new plan, GE announced today an agreement to sell the bulk of the assets of GE Capital Real Estate to funds managed by Blackstone. Wells Fargo will acquire a portion of the performing loans at closing. In total, these transactions are valued at approximately USD26.5 billion.
