30年前,个人电脑(PC机)只存在于少数几个人的梦想中。更少有人注意到当时两位科学家在后来被称为硅谷的地方创办了一家电子公司。如今,电脑无处不在,几乎无人不知这家公司——英特尔公司。作为当今世界上最大的计算机芯片制造商,英特尔用拇指般大小的产品——充当绝大多数电脑“大脑”的微处理器——改变了这个世界。英特尔公司两个创始人之一、前董事长戈登·摩尔说:“也许我有失公允,但我确实认为英特尔的作用十分关键,我们走对了路,而且在很大程度上推动了计算机产业的革命。”
Thirty years ago, personal computers (PCs) existed only in the dreams of a few people. Few noticed when two scientists founded an electronics company later known as Silicon Valley. Nowadays, computers are everywhere and almost nobody knows about the company, Intel. As the world’s largest maker of computer chips, Intel has changed the world with thumb-sized products - microprocessors that act as the vast majority of computer “brains.” Gordon Moore, former chairman of Intel Corporation and one of the founders of Intel, said: “Maybe I was unfair, but I do think Intel’s role is crucial. We are on the right foot and, to a great extent, promoted Revolution in the computer industry. ”
