well here is what they all did
Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore, founders of Intel,

Eugene Kleiner, co-founder of the Kleiner Perkins venture capital firm.

Sheldon Roberts, Jean Hoerni and Jay Last founded what later became Teledyne,

Julius Blank co-founded Xicor.

Victor Grinich became a professor at UC Berkeley and Stanford University
 
Just noticed the 1st question wasn't properly formed. It should have been "3 who worked at Fairchild" not 3 of "traitorous eight". :o

all of the 8 worked at fairchild and there respective paths ive given
guess im missing the point you want :(
 
The answers I was looking for were:

1. Gordon Moore, Robert Noyce and Jerry Sanders.

2. 2 companies, Intel and AMD.

3. Intel=Integrated Electronics, AMD=Advanced Micro Devices

4. Ted Hoff.
 
Off the top of my head, from what time did AMD factory lock their CPU's? Answer should contain week and year.
 
around q2-q3 of 2000, basically with the release of the locked Duron

I assume you mean lock upwards, since they're not locked downwards :P
 
Week 39, year 2003. After that the majority of their CPU's were locked. Cause before that the Athlon's were not locked.

But I should have once again given my question with more details. I'll let you post a question, since you were kinda right.

nah the Tunderbird was definatly locked back in 2000, thats when L1 bridging became the rage

anyway here is my question

I spent my youth writing down inventions
The ideas weren’t mine, nor the job my intentions

Did some physics when I got the chance
But my work was debunked by those in france

It was a Monsieur Henri that had me vexed
But it was relative to the selected text

I dabbled in maths with my wife
But never touched a computer in my life

My student named Leó is no fool
We came up with a way to keep beer cool

Gambling was never really my vice
And just like our lord I avoided the dice

At home, on 9/11 there was some distruction
But its not with the US I make this connection

But alas I was not alive to see
For I died some time before 1960

And alas my final years were of foreign land
Driven from home before acquiring a brand


who am I

I remembered reading about Leó Szilárd in a science magazine. He and Albert Einstein wrote a letter to Franklin Roosevelt, in which they suggested him to have a nuclear bomb built. Plus they designed the "Einstein refrigerator".

Ok, but can you get the name of the 9/11 structure that was demolished???

as i said in the riddle...
At home, on 9/11 there was some distruction
But its not with the US I make this connection
 
That one is a bit harder.

Just as a wild guess, you wouldn't happen to be referring to the Einstein@Home software?
