Gordon · Moore (Gordon Moore, 1929-): Intel Corporation (Intel) co-founder [edit] Gordon · introduction to Moore.
January 3, 1929, Gordon Moore was born in San Francisco, California 佩斯卡迪诺. How much my father did not attend school, 17-year-old began to support the family, make a small official, the mother only graduated from high school, but family life can also warm and happy. 11 years old, a chance for young Moore became interested in chemistry.At a neighbor's child has a unique Christmas gift, that's a chemical plant with many real chemical reagents, many strange things, even manufacture of explosives, Moore was complete, the day ran to a neighbor, these small things, he started to become a chemist! in school, most hard Mole is not worth, but it is the most will learn that he always ran out to exercise, invention, but learning achievement has been good. After graduating from high school, he entered the famous Berkeley's chemistry, achieved his dream of a juvenile. In 1950, Moore received a bachelor's degree, then his further studies, in 1954, received Ph.D. in physical chemistry. Gordon Moore business process. .
Before you start.
After graduation, Moore went to Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. At that time his research is to observe the infrared absorption properties and flame photometric analysis. But soon the team due to the departure of the two supervisors in name only. And Moore started thinking about their future direction, he said: "I started to calculate their published articles, the result is 5 dollars per word, on the basic research for this is quite good. But I do not know who is reading these articles, the Government can not derive the corresponding value. ". .
A few years later, at the Nobel Prize laureates, inventors of the transistor's cooperation · William Shockley's invitation, 1956, Moore returned to California as a chemical expert joined Shockley semiconductor company, he wished to give up before too vague theory, do something, so that my research are applied.
Proved, Moore joined the Shockley Semiconductor was the right decision, because here, he met his life partner is best, some of the greatest achievements in the cause. Robert Noyce, Blank, Rust is later fame figure. But there are also shortcomings exist because Shockley is a genius scientist, but a lack of management capacity. He was ambitious, but know nothing about managing. Professor Terman of Stanford University has commented: "Shockley in the eyes of talented young people is very attractive, but they worked hard with him."A year without any laboratory developed a decent product.
As a result, the company's 8-connected personal emotional decision "defection", led by an Noyce, who is Moore's best friend. They submitted a resignation letter to Shockley. Shockley furious called them "Traitorous Eight." But young people still hesitate to leave their "horses." However, even Shockley himself was later changed to them as "eight days of the rebellion." Many in Silicon Valley legend, the "Traitorous Eight" of the photo and the first entrepreneur in Silicon Valley garage HP photo, with the same historical value. .
At the beginning of the venture.
September 1957, "Traitorous Eight" hand "Wall Street Journal" column by the New York stock from house to house looking for a partner, they find the 35 companies, but was rejected 35 times. Finally, they found one located in New York photographic firm, the company name fairchild, transliteration, "Fairchild", means "Fairchild." Has more than 60 years, Mr. Fairchild has not much heart and power, he provides only 3,600 U.S. dollars in seed money, ask them to develop and produce commercial semiconductor devices, and enjoy the privilege of two years of purchase.Thus, the "treason" businesses was officially named the children and the semiconductor company.
"Fairchild" We negotiate to create a kind of double-diffusion-based transistors to replace conventional silicon germanium material, which is not yet completed their laboratory but not Shockley Shockley important project. Fairchild photographic equipment, the company agreed to provide financial resources, the total amount of 150 million. Noyce work to partners divided by the molar to study the spread of new technology, and he himself, together with Rust specializing in graphic photography. .
In January 1958, IBM gave their first order, the order of 100 silicon transistors for the computer's memory. To the end of 1958, the "rebel" of the small companies already have half a million sales and 100 employees, and rely on the advantages of technological innovation, Silicon Valley, one of the fastest growing companies, others call it a "naughty children of miracles".
60s Fairchild Semiconductor has entered its golden age. 1967, the company turnover of nearly 200 million U.S. dollars, can be said at the time astronomical. It said: "into the Fairchild Corporation, is equivalent to a Silicon Valley semiconductor industry entered the door.". .
1965 an inadvertent moment, Moore found out later, the computer industry is extremely important in law, it was first released in issue 35 of the electronic magazine, although only 3 pages in length, but it is by far the most semiconductor historical significance. In the article, Moore said that genius, integrated circuits, transistors can be integrated, will every 18 months to double the speed, and stable growth in the coming decades to keep this momentum going. Moore made the prediction, due to subsequent development of integrated circuits can be proven, and in the longer term to maintain its effectiveness, was called "Moore's Law", a new electronic and computer industries, "the first Law." .
But then, Moore and others did not expect it. Because when the children are already pregnant with the crisis, as the company grows, its parent company General Manager constantly put profit over to the East Coast, to support the Fairchild company's profitability. See this kind of situation, the children of the exodus of talent elite, have their own business.
In 1968, the "Traitorous Eight" in the last two Noyce and Moore, with William Grove, was not known from Fairchild own company, Vail Mountain in California, an old, Intel set up, The new company was originally from the name of "Moore - Noyce Electronics." However, in Moore Noyce English sounds and more noise (noisy) very similar, so it was changed to "Intel." "Intel" (Intel) have been derived from the English word "wisdom" (Intelligence) in the head.At the same time, and the English "integrated electronic" (Integrated Electronics) is very similar, then this simple but loud name was born! although it is a small company, no money, no place. But they are ambitious, it is necessary to break a great cause.
Start at the beginning, the three agreed that the most potential market is the semiconductor memory chips, the market is completely dependent on technology. In 1969, Intel introduced its first products - processing 64-bit bipolar memory chip, code-named 3101. Second year, they launched the first large-capacity (256) metal oxide semiconductor memory 1101.In 1972, and take advantage of the launch of the first volume 1 KB of dynamic random access memory 1103, this low-cost products are very popular, in short supply, it officially announcing the demise of the magnetic core memory, and ultimately achieve the personal computer revolution.
Moore era Intel. .
Intel Corporation, Moore's law starting BDS and practice. From the 1970s onwards, Intel to build its success business model — the continuous improvement of chip design, technological innovation meets computer manufacturers and software and hardware products company turnover, improve performance needs. Moore, your computer's performance every 18 months to double that only constant innovation in order to win the high profits and would receive the funds into the next round of technology development, will be in a competitive marketplace. But Moore's pet phrase is "change is our passion for life."
Under the guidance of the Moore's Law, Intel Haoxiliantai, 1971, announced the world's first microprocessor 4004, declaring "a new era of integrated electronics has arrived." In 1974, it launched a microprocessor 8080. "8080" praised by experts as one of the most successful microprocessor, is from 8088 began, personal computers worldwide began to develop. .
1974 year after leaving office in Genoese, the then Vice President of Moore officially boarded the President and Chief Executive Officer of throne, Intel has started to take off. As technology entrepreneurs, Moore never consider themselves to be the company's Chief Executive, superior, and he has a strong focus on technology transfer, elimination of Intel research laboratory and manufacturing sector bottlenecks and speed up new products from the laboratory to the factory, the transformation of the market. Because the right business strategy, technical innovation, this time Intel has been gradually established their giant status, look around, no one is rival, could not help but triumphant, but they did not expect, in the distant East, an emerging forces are growing. .
March 1976, Japan's largest five electric scientific research strength together to build up the VLSI Research Institute, less than four years, they have achieved great success. March 1980, Anderson, General Manager of Hewlett-Packard Company in Washington, d.c. meeting issued a Japanese and American chip quality comparison report, America's best products in seconds, rather than Japanese products, delivering up to five times. This report was shocked by the Silicon Valley. But the real strength is in 1981. This in December, 8087 launch of Intel chips, Panasonic to show itself for 3200 chips. 64K dynamic random access memory chips, was a highlight of the computer world looking on, it contains 65 536 elements, not only read but also to erase the same as the blackboard. But Japan's 64K chip is killed halfway out inside a dark horse, with its low cost and high reliability, quick possession of the United States, so that the price of Intel's single chip within a year, dropping precipitously from 28 U.S. dollars to 6 dollars, Intel, the new The giant was a harsh lesson, and Silicon Valley was in uproar, the United States uproar. .
Moore, determined to give up our storage chip market, steering microprocessors (ICS) market, because of their keen eye, Moore has accurately predicted the PC future success. He decisively decided to conduct a strategic shift, Intel, specializing in micro-computer "heart" of parts — CPU, it is this decision, the final establishment of the Intel microprocessor in the global market for supremacy.
Since 1985, Intel began the joint development with Compaq to a new 80386 microprocessor-based computer, and in 1987 successfully launched the operation speed three times faster than the IBM PC 386 desktop computer. In 1991, Intel and IBM has reached an agreement 10-year microprocessor developed many computers can use a chip instead of the core site, and the larger, faster processor.Technical innovations have constantly leading in the peer, always hold the microprocessor market, great market share, profit increased year after year, but Moore has not satisfied with the status quo, he believes he's Moore's law, clear market out fast, so continue with great frequency to "own" their own phase-out. In March 1993, Intel has launched the fifth generation microprocessor products — Pentium CPU (Pentium).
Moore led Intel in 10 years time, PC-personal computer industry representatives and received rapid embryonic development. As the PC gained worldwide success, providing the core components of Intel PC from a memory manufacturer to become a more glorious long Intel. Gordon Moore is the biggest promoter of this great change and the winner. .
In 1989, Moore Chairman glorious retirement. On the evaluation of Gordon Moore.
In the IT industry has a myth, this myth is a law of a company brought to the pinnacle of success, the Law is "Moore's Law." Information industry is almost strictly in accordance with the law of exponentially leads the pace of economic development, the discoverer of this law is none other than world's largest CPU manufacturer Intel Corporation founder Gordon Moore. Moore led Intel in the 10 years time, PC-personal computer industry representatives and received rapid embryonic development. Moore, his sharp eyes, accurately predicted the PC's success.He decisively decided to conduct a strategic shift, Intel, specializing in micro-computer "heart" of parts — CPU. As PC worldwide success, providing PC Intel core components from a memory manufacturer grow into an even more magnificent Intel. Gordon · Moore is reform and progress of the biggest promoters and winner.
In Silicon Valley history, particularly in Intel, Moore is the most admired company founder, is the most respected scientists, who more than others reflect Intel's model: the technology started, grow through innovation, true technology leader and the most amiable entrepreneur. But as the honorary chairman of the company forever, Moore's influence is still huge enveloped the Intel Corporation. He is Intel's real "heart." .
