这是眼下发生的几宗事,Intel 奔腾Ⅳ引领全球 IT 产业新的航行,剑桥大学研制“硅终结者”的塑料芯片,Maxtor 将购并 Quantum HDD,IBM 要在硬盘领域把摩尔定律缩到12个月……其实,这些并不足以支撑已经“从海沙到黄金”、“从硅纪元到.com时代”的“新半导体经济”的宏大命题。与鲜活的历史相比,现实总是卑微的。与富于哲理的寓言相比,商业和人总是短视的。不过,又能怎么样呢?铁打的“硬盘”流水的“芯”,一切皆变,流转不休。很少有人真正意识到,“互联网是在硅片上运行的”。也没有人恍然,原来人的记忆和文明可以因为一块硬盘练成“化功大法”,商业不仅具有了无穷无尽的能量,永恒也将成为可能。作为有史以来最伟大的发明之一,半导体从一开始就在改变这个世界,如今它以更丰富的样式和更迅猛的姿态深入人类的生活。当前,半导体业前景一片光明,并与新经济牵扯着千丝万缕的联系。“两手都要抓,两手都要硬。”据美国半导体工业协会预测,2000年芯片交易额为500亿美元,2003年将至少达3000亿美元。遥想微处理器问世的当年,宣称“集成电子的新纪元已经来临”的英特尔都没有预料到,这场革命规模如此之大。这样来理解吧,1997年全世界芯片数量达3500亿块,其中包括150亿块微处理器,也就是说,地球上平均每个人拥有两块以上的微处理器。令人动容的是,1998年芯片晶体管的数目等同于同期加利福尼亚降雨的雨点数目。或许,新世纪的每一样东西都装有芯片,并且晶体管的数量几乎与天上的星星一样多。
This is the immediate occurrence of several events, Intel Pentium IV to lead the new voyage in the global IT industry, Cambridge University developed “Silicon Terminator” plastic chips, Maxtor will buy Quantum HDD, IBM to Moore’s Law in the field of hard disk reduced to 12 In fact, these are not enough to support the grand proposition of “the new semiconductor economy” that has “gone from sea to sand” and “from the age of silicon to the era of .com.” Compared with the vivid history, the reality is always humble. Compared with philosophical allegories, business and people are always short-sighted. However, what can be like? Iron hit “hard” running water “core”, everything changes, endless circulation. Few people really realize that “the Internet is running on silicon.” No one suddenly realized that the original human memory and civilization can be trained as a hard drive into a “power Dafa,” not only business has endless energy, eternity will also be possible. As one of the greatest inventions of all time, the semiconductor has changed the world from the very beginning, and nowadays it penetrates into human life in a richer form and more rapidly. At present, the prospect of the semiconductor industry is bright and inextricably linked with the new economy. “Both hands should be grasped, both hands should be hard.” According to the American Semiconductor Industry Association predicted that in 2000 the chip transaction volume of 50 billion US dollars in 2003 will reach at least 300 billion US dollars. Think of the advent of microprocessors that year, announced that “a new era of integrated electronics has come,” Intel did not expect that the scale of the revolution so large. So to understand it, in 1997 the world’s chip count reached 350 billion, including 15 billion microprocessors, that is, on Earth, each person has more than two microprocessors. It is movingly that the number of chip transistors in 1998 is equivalent to the number of rain rains in California over the same period. Perhaps, everything in the new century is loaded with chips, and the number of transistors is almost as high as the number of stars in the sky.
