Basic information of Gordon Moore.

Moore was born in San Francisco, California on 1929. He received a bachelor's degree in chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley, and a doctorate in physical chemistry from the California Institute of Technology. In the mid-1950s, he worked with robert noyce, the inventor of integrated circuits, in william shockley Semiconductor Company. Later, Noyce and Moore collectively resigned and founded Fairchild Semiconductor, a famous semiconductor company in the history of semiconductor industry. Fairchild became the founder of Intel and AMD.

1968, Moore and Noyce quit Fairchild and founded Intel. Intel is committed to developing the data storage field that was not developed in the computer industry at that time. Intel 1 103 memory stick, the first important product produced by the company, was listed in the early 1970s. 1972, Intel's sales reached $23.4 million. In the past 10 years from 1982, there were 22 major breakthroughs in microelectronics technology, of which 16 was developed by Intel.

During Moore's ten years in charge of Intel (1974 ~ 1987), the personal computer industry represented by PC sprouted and developed rapidly. Moore accurately predicted the success of PC with his keen eyes. He made a decisive decision, and Intel made a strategic shift, specializing in the "heart" component of the microcomputer-CPU. Gordon Moore is the biggest promoter and winner of this change and progress. In the high-tech IT field, people who have struggled for ten years can be called veterans. So why is it called Moore, which has been shining for more than 40 years? Gordon Moore is not only a veteran, but also an idol of the information industry. Today, although Moore, the honorary chairman of Intel, has faded out of daily management affairs, he still appears in the building of Intel headquarters several days a week.

1998, Moore established AAINT-L in cooperation with American AAA international. Intel Corporation focuses on "smart" industries, while "AAA" focuses on "smart" industries. After the cooperation, "AAINT-L" takes "intelligence+wisdom" as its business philosophy and "serving international strategy and fulfilling global responsibility" as its mission, and fully meets the needs of the future intelligent society from "Internet-Internet of Things".

He is an idol of the information industry. His laws not only brought Intel to the peak of the industry, but also guided the development of the IT industry in the past 40 years. He, Gordon Moore, modestly hides his reputation. After many years of retirement, he still appeared like a superstar, attracting thunderous applause from technical geniuses.

No engineer can become a superstar like Gordon Moore. To commemorate the anniversary of IDF's success 10, the father of Moore's Law, who rarely appeared, set off a climax on the first day of Intel Developer Forum. All the audience stood up and paid tribute to him with warm applause.

The second time I saw Moore, he suddenly appeared in the quiet media room. Almost all reporters dropped their laptops and grabbed their cameras. Foreign journalists say that Moore is like this every time he appears, and he will appear in front of you at the most unexpected moment.

Moore is very tall, one meter eight, and he is still tall and straight in a black suit in his late eighties. No matter how busy people around him are, the white-haired old man is always leisurely and carefree.

At present, what is the most popular in the world, of course, is computers and networks, and which industry is the most profitable, of course, is the most cutting-edge IT industry. So who is the boss of this industry? You may be hesitant, but look at your computer and glance at the ubiquitous advertisements. The answer is obvious. Of course, it is Intel, the largest ——CPU manufacturer in the world. It is the leader of the computer industry and the "heart" of computer production. Is a real chip giant, any computer manufacturer, no one dares to reject Intel's products, no one dares not to use the famous Pentium series, although the computer battlefield is filled with smoke, but for decades, it has always been invincible, almost becoming a perfect incarnation.

And this perfect incarnation is driven by a troika. Robert noyce, Gordon Moore and Andy Grove, each of them is famous and has made great achievements. They are a perfect combination. Noyce is honored as a "saint" and leads the development direction of the enterprise. Andy is called "paranoid" and runs the company with an iron fist. Moore is an outstanding technical genius, the inventor of the first law of computer industry development, especially good at analyzing technical trends and planning strategies. He is a philosopher and strategist at Intel. 103, Gordon Moore was born in Pesca Dino, San Francisco, California. My father didn't go to school much. /kloc-at the age of 0/7, he began to support his family and became a small official. My mother just graduated from middle school, but the family lives a warm and happy life.

1 1 years old, a chance made young Moore interested in chemistry. At that time, the neighbor's children had a unique Christmas present. It's a chemical device, which contains many real chemical reagents and can make many strange things, even explosives. Moore was completely fascinated and went to his neighbor's house all day to study these little things. He began to want to be a chemist!

In school, Moore is not the most diligent person, but he is the most able to learn. He runs out all day to do sports and make inventions, but his academic performance has always been good. After graduating from high school, he entered the chemistry major of the famous University of California, Berkeley, and realized his boyhood dream. 1950, Moore got his bachelor's degree, and then he continued his studies and got his doctorate in physical chemistry in 1954.

After graduation, Moore came to work in the Applied Physics Laboratory of Johns Hopkins University. At that time, his research direction was to observe infrared absorption characteristics and flame spectrophotometry analysis. But soon the research team died in name only because of the departure of two big bosses. Moore began to think about his future direction. He said, "I started counting my published articles, and the result was $5 per word, which is quite good for basic research. But I don't know who will read these articles, and I don't know whether the government can get the corresponding value from them. "

A few years later, at the invitation of william shockley, the Nobel Prize winner and co-inventor of transistor, Moore returned to California on 1956 and joined shockley Semiconductor Company as a chemical expert. He wants to give up the theoretical research that was too illusory before and do something to make his research applied.

Facts have proved that Moore's joining shockley Semiconductor Company was a correct decision, because he met his best partner in life and achieved the greatest career here. Robert noyce, Blank and Raster were all famous figures later. But there are also shortcomings, because Shockley is a talented scientist, but he lacks management ability. He is ambitious, but he knows nothing about management. Professor Terman of Stanford University once commented: "shockley is a very attractive figure in the eyes of talented young people, but it is difficult for them to have anything to do with him." During this year, the laboratory didn't develop any decent products.

As a result, eight people in the company decided to "defect". The leader is Noyce, who is Moore's best friend. They submitted their resignation to shockley. Shockley angrily called them the "Eight Rebellions". But the young people left their own Bole without hesitation. However, even Shockley himself changed his mind and called them "the rebellion of the Eight Geniuses". Among many legends in Silicon Valley, the photos of "Eight Rebellions" have the same historical value as those of Hewlett-Packard, the first entrepreneur in Silicon Valley. In September, 1957, the "Eight Rebels" held hands with the Wall Street Journal and went door-to-door to find partners according to the NYSE column. They looked for 35 companies and were rejected 35 times. Finally, they found a photographic equipment company in new york, USA. The name of this company is fairchild, transliteration is "Fairchild", which means "Fairchild". Mr fairchild, who is over sixty, has little emotion and motivation. He only provided a seed fund of $3,600, asking them to develop and produce commercial semiconductor devices and enjoy the privilege of buying them for two years. As a result, the enterprise founded by the "eight anti-"was officially named Fairchild Semiconductor Company. 、

"Fairchild" are talking about making a double diffusion transistor, with the purpose of replacing the traditional germanium material with silicon, which is a project that they haven't finished in shockley laboratory but don't pay attention to in shockley. Fairchild photographic equipment company promised to provide financial resources, totaling $6,543,800+0.5 million. Noyce divided the work for his partners, Moore was responsible for studying the new diffusion process, and he himself specialized in plane photography with grating.

1958 65438+ 10, IBM placed their first order for 100 silicon transistors for the memory of the company computer. By the end of 1958, the "eight inverse" small company had a sales volume of 500,000 and employees of 100. Relying on the advantages of technological innovation, it has become the fastest growing company in Silicon Valley, and some people call it "the miracle created by naughty children".

Fairchild Semiconductor entered its golden age in 1960s. By 1967, the company's turnover was close to 200 million dollars, which was astronomical at that time. People say, "Entering Fairchild Company means stepping into the gate of semiconductor industry in Silicon Valley."

1965 In an unintentional moment, Moore discovered a law that was extremely important to the later computer industry. Published in the 35th issue of Electronics that year. Although it is only three pages long, it is the most important paper in the history of semiconductors. In the article, Moore ingeniously predicted that the number of transistors that can be integrated on an integrated circuit will increase steadily every 18 months, and this momentum will be maintained in the next few decades. This prediction of Moore was proved by the later development of integrated circuits, and kept its validity for a long time. Known as "Moore's Law", it has become the "first law" of the emerging electronic computer industry.

But at that time, Moore and others did not think of its role. Because Fairchild was pregnant with crisis at this time, with the growth of the branch, the general manager of the parent company constantly transferred profits to the east coast to support the profitability of Fairchild Corporation. Seeing this situation, a large number of Fairchild talent elites have left their jobs to start businesses.

1968, Noyce and Moore, the last two "Eight Rebellions", left Fairchild Company with Grove, who was still unknown at that time, and set up Intel in an old building in Mount Weil, California. The new company was originally named "Moore-Noyce Electronics Company". But Moore Noyce sounds like more noise in English, so it was changed to "Intel". "Intel" originally comes from the head of the English word "Intelligence". At the same time, it is very similar to the English word "Integrated Electronics", so this simple but loud name was born! Although it is a small company, it has no funds and no place. But they are ambitious and want to do something great.

At the beginning of their business, the three agreed that the most potential market for semiconductors is the memory chips that rely entirely on high technology. 1969, Intel introduced the first batch of products-bipolar processing 64-bit memory chips, code-named 3 10 1. The following year, the first large-capacity (256-bit) MOS memory 1 10 1 was introduced. 1972 introduced the first DRAM with the capacity of 1 103. This kind of cheap and excellent product is very popular, and the demand exceeds the supply. Its birth officially declared the demise of magnetic core memory, and finally completed the personal computer revolution. At Intel, Moore's Law began to be thoroughly played and practiced. Since 1970s, Intel has established its successful business model-continuously improving the design of chips to meet the needs of computer manufacturers and software and hardware products companies to upgrade and improve their performance through technological innovation. Moore pointed out that the performance of computers doubles every 65,438+08 months. Only by continuous innovation can we win high profits and invest the obtained funds in the next round of technology development in order to survive in the highly competitive market. Moore's mantra is "Change is the love of our life".

Under the guidance of Moore's Law, Intel Corporation has made great efforts. 197 1 year, it announced the world's first microprocessor 4004, announcing that "a new era of integrated electronics has arrived". 1974 introduced the microprocessor 8080. "8080" is praised by experts as one of the most successful microprocessors in history, and it is from 8088 that personal computers have developed around the world.

After Noyce 1974 left office, Moore, then vice president, officially ascended the throne of president and CEO and began Intel's take-off journey. As an entrepreneur with a technical background, Moore never considered himself the president of the company. He paid great attention to the transformation of technology, eliminated the bottleneck between Intel's research laboratory and manufacturing department, and accelerated the transformation of new products from laboratory to factory and market.

Due to the correct business strategy and technological innovation, Intel has gradually established its position as a giant. Looking around, no one is an opponent, and they can't help feeling smug, but they didn't expect that a new force is growing in the far east.

1976 In March, the scientific research forces of the five largest electric companies in Japan jointly established the VLSI Institute. In less than four years, they have made great achievements! 1980 In March, Anderson, the general manager of Hewlett-Packard Company, published a comparative report on the quality of Japanese and American chips at a conference in Washington. The defective rate of the best products in America is five times higher than that of the worst products in Japan. This report shocked Silicon Valley.

However, the real contest is 198 1 year. In 65438+February this year, Intel introduced 8087 chips, and Panasonic of Japan took out 3200 chips without showing weakness. At that time, the 64K DRAM chip was the highlight of the computer industry. It contains 65,536 components, which can be read and erased like a blackboard. However, Japan's 64K chip is a dark horse. With its low cost and high reliability, it quickly occupied the United States, making the price of Intel single chip drop from $28 to $6 in one year. The new giant Intel was severely taught a lesson, and Silicon Valley was shocked, and the United States was also shocked.

Moore learned from a bitter experience and decided to give up the memory chip market and turn to the microprocessor (control chip) market, because with keen vision, Moore has accurately predicted the future success of personal computers. He made a decisive decision, and Intel shifted its strategy, specializing in ——CPU, the "heart" component of microcomputer. It was this decision that finally established Intel's dominant position in the global microprocessor market today.

Since 1985, Intel and Compaq have jointly developed a new type of computer based on 80386 microprocessor, and successfully launched a desktop 386 computer in 1987, which is three times faster than an IBM personal computer. 199 1 year, Intel and IBM reached a microprocessor agreement on 10, and developed a processor with larger capacity and faster speed, which can replace many computer cores with one chip.

Technological innovation has kept Intel ahead of its peers, occupying a huge market share in the microprocessor market, and its profits have been rising year after year. However, Moore is not satisfied with the status quo. He believes in his Moore's Law and knows how fast the market is eliminated, and still "eliminates himself" with great frequency. 1in March, 993, Intel introduced Pentium, the fifth generation CPU product of microprocessor.

During more than ten years when Moore led Intel, the personal computer industry represented by PC sprouted and developed rapidly. With the great success of PC in the world, Intel, which provides the core components of PC, has grown from a memory manufacturer to a more brilliant Intel. Gordon Moore is the biggest promoter and winner of this great change.

1989, Moore retired from the chairmanship with honor.

Secret of success

Based on deep professional knowledge.

Technology is the fulcrum and research and development is the lever.

The courage to "eliminate yourself" constantly.
