Technology in the Internet Era

摘要

In the PC Era, Microcomputer (μC) and memory were the components that drove growth of the PC industry. In the Internet Era, Digital Signal Processor (DSP) and Analog will be the components that drive growth in Internet Products. Over the next 10 years, technology will continue to follow Moore's Law of scaling, and in addition, System-on-a-Chip (SOC) integration will drive technology. Of the many challenges to continued scaling, lithography will continue to rank near the top throughout most of this decade. However, toward the end of the decade, other limitations will retard scaling. Continued system cost reduction will result from expanded SOC integration, consistent with the needs of the Internet.
