| 单词 | Moore’s Law |
| 释义 | Moore’s Law The observation of Gordon E. Moore (1929–), co-founder of Intel, that the complexity of semiconductor components had roughly doubled per year since the first prototype microchip and that the rate would remain nearly constant for at least 10 years. Moore stated the observation in an article entitled “Cramming more components onto integrated circuits” that appeared in the April 19, 1965 edition of Electronics magazine. In the article, Moore predicted that “With unit cost falling as the number of components per circuit rises, by 1975 economics may dictate squeezing as many as 65,000 components on a single chip.” In 1975, Moore updated the prediction, stating that the number of transistors on an integrated circuit for minimum component cost doubles approximately every 2 years. As a point of interest, the first microprocessor had 2,200 transistors. In 2007, Intel placed more than 1,700,000,000 transistors on its Ita-nium chip.See also Moore, Gordon E. |
