Gordon Moore

Gordon Moore appears in EP270 一枚芯片的漫长征途：我们离“算力自由”还有多远？ through Moore’s Law, the semiconductor scaling observation that became an industry rhythm for packing more components onto integrated circuits over time. The episode uses Moore’s Law to explain why chips became cheaper and more powerful across decades.

In the source, Moore matters less as a biography and more as the origin point for a coordination frame: the industry invested around expectations of regular density improvement, while the post-Moore period forces companies toward process innovation, architecture, advanced packaging, and system-level efficiency.

真正改变世界的技术，为什么一开始都不被看好？| S10E16 adds Moore’s Fairchild Semiconductor commercial context. 汪波 says early chips were hard to sell against discrete transistor assembly, making Moore’s forecast a way to make semiconductor integration credible despite yield, heat, and tooling objections.
