今年是“摩尔定律”问世50周年,在过去50年里,这一定律对工业、社会和科技领域所产生的重大影响几乎成功改变了全球的面貌。不过随着时间的推移,业内质疑摩尔定律是否失效及能否延续的声音不绝于耳。50年前,英特尔公司的前身“仙童半导体”(Fairchild Semiconductor)联合创始人戈登·摩尔(Gordon Moore)在《电子学》(Electronics)杂志上发表了一篇文章,文章中提出了著名的摩尔定律。该定律的主要内容是,当价格不变时,集成电路上可容纳的元器件的数目,每隔18~24个月便会增加一倍,性能也将提升一倍。换言之,每一美元所能买到的电脑性能,将每隔18~24个月翻一倍以上。
This year marks the fiftieth anniversary of the advent of “Moore’s Law,” and in the past 50 years, the significant impact this law has had on industrial, social and technological fields has almost succeeded in changing the face of the world. However, over time, the industry questioned Moore’s Law whether the failure and the sustainability of voices. Fifty years ago, Intel Corp.’s predecessor, Gordon Moore, co-founder of Fairchild Semiconductor, published an article in Electronics magazine, The famous Moore’s Law. The main point of the law is that when the price is constant, the number of components that can be accommodated on an integrated circuit will be doubled every 18-24 months and the performance will be doubled. In other words, the performance of a computer that every dollar can buy will more than double every 18 to 24 months.
