商品描述

In 1965, Intel co-founder Gordon Moore, in "Cramming more components onto Integrated Circuits" in Electronics Magazine (April 19, 1965), made the observation that, in the history of computing hardware, the number of transistors on integrated circuits doubles approximately every two years. Since its inception in 1965 until recent times, this law has been used in the semiconductor industry to guide investments for long-term planning as well as to set targets for research and development. These investments have helped in a productive utilization of wealth, which created more employment opportunities for semiconductor industry professionals. In this way, the development of Moore's Law has helped sustain the progress of today's knowledge-based economy. While Moore's Law has, on one hand, helped drive investments toward technological and economic growth, thereby benefiting the consumers with more powerful electronic gadgets, Moore's Law has indirectly also helped to fuel other innovations in the global economy. However, the Law of diminishing returns is now questioning the sustainability of further evolution of Moore's Law and its ability to sustain the progress of today's knowledge based economy. The lack of liquidity in the global economy is truly bringing the entire industry to a standstill and the dark clouds of an economic depression are hovering over the global economy. What factors have been ignored by the global semiconductor industry leading to a demise of Moore's Law? Do the existing business models prevalent in the semiconductor industry pose any problems? Have supply chains made that progress unsustainable? In today's globalized world, have businesses been able to sustain national interests while driving the progress of Moore's Law? Could the semiconductor industry help the entire global economy move toward a radiance of the new crimson dawn, beyond the veil of the darkest night by sustaining the progress of Moore's Law? The entire semiconductor industry is now clamoring for a fresh approach to overcome existing barriers to the progress of Moore's Law, and this book delivers just that. Moore's Law can easily continue for the foreseeable future if the chip manufacturing industry becomes sustainable by having a balanced economy. The sustainable progress of Moore's Law advocates the "heresy" of transforming the current economic orthodoxy of monopoly capitalism into free-market capitalism. The next big thing that everybody is looking forward to after mobile revolution is the "Internet of Things" (IoT) revolution. While some analysts forecast that the IoT market would achieve 5.4 billion connections worldwide by 2020, the poor consumer purchasing power in global economy makes this forecast truly questionable. Sustaining Moore's Law presents a blueprint for sustaining the progress of Moore's Law to bring about IoT Revolution in the global economy.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

在1965年,英特爾共同創辦人戈登·摩爾在《電子雜誌》(1965年4月19日)中發表的文章《將更多元件壓縮到集成電路上》中觀察到,在計算硬體的歷史上,集成電路上的晶體管數量大約每兩年就會翻倍。自1965年以來,這一法則一直被半導體產業用來指導長期規劃的投資以及設定研究和開發的目標。這些投資促進了財富的有效利用,為半導體行業專業人士創造了更多的就業機會。以此方式,摩爾定律的發展幫助維持了當今知識型經濟的進步。

雖然摩爾定律在某種程度上促進了對技術和經濟增長的投資,從而使消費者受益於更強大的電子產品,但摩爾定律也間接促進了全球經濟中的其他創新。然而,報酬遞減法則現在對摩爾定律的進一步演變的可持續性及其維持當今知識型經濟進步的能力提出了質疑。全球經濟的流動性不足確實使整個行業陷入停滯,經濟衰退的陰雲籠罩著全球經濟。

全球半導體產業忽視了哪些因素,導致摩爾定律的衰退?半導體產業中現有的商業模式是否存在問題?供應鏈是否使這一進展變得不可持續?在當今全球化的世界中,企業是否能在推動摩爾定律進步的同時維護國家利益?半導體產業能否幫助整個全球經濟走向新的曙光,超越最黑暗的夜晚,持續摩爾定律的進步?

整個半導體產業現在都在呼籲採取新方法,以克服摩爾定律進步的現有障礙,而本書正是提供了這樣的解決方案。如果晶片製造業能夠通過建立平衡的經濟實現可持續發展,摩爾定律在可預見的未來將能夠輕鬆延續。摩爾定律的可持續進步主張將當前的壟斷資本主義經濟正統轉變為自由市場資本主義的“異端”。在移動革命之後,大家期待的下一個重大變革是“物聯網”(IoT)革命。雖然一些分析師預測到2020年物聯網市場將在全球達到54億個連接,但全球經濟中消費者購買力的不足使這一預測變得相當可疑。持續摩爾定律提供了一個藍圖,以維持摩爾定律的進步,從而在全球經濟中帶來物聯網革命。
