Internet of Things dominates SEMICON West

摘要

SEMICON West convened July 14-16 in San Francisco, with the 2015 version taking place during the 50th anniversary of Moore's Law. Denny McGuirk, president and CEO of SEMI, said things were different in 1965. Gasoline was 31 cents a gallon, the Dow was under 1,000, and the price of a car was an outrageous $2,800. But one thing remains the same, he added: Moore's Law is alive and well-despite frequent predictions that the end is near. Doug Davis, senior vice president and general manager for the Internet of Things at Intel, indicated his faith in Moore's Law by delivering a keynote titled "The Internet of Things and the Next 50 Years of Moore's Law." The IoT, he said, will fuel innovation in every type of industry. He urged attendees to think beyond the device to tackle problems worldwide.
