"Impossible, absolutely impossible? This is utterly unscientific!"
Gordon Moore incredulously held the X32115 in his hands, which had been polished to reveal the wafer inside.
Just moments ago, under the electron microscope, Moore had clearly seen that the design of the 32115 was fundamentally different from any mainstream chip, starting from its base layer.
Born in 1929, Gordon Moore was most famous for what came to be known as "Moore's Law," which posited that chip performance would double every 18 months while the price would stay the same.
Now, at the age of 87, Moore simply couldn't believe that he, who was in his twenties when Bell Labs invented the transistor in the 1950s, had witnessed the evolution of computing from relays and vacuum tubes to transistors and then integrated circuits.
It could be said that he knew everything about the rise of computers since their invention, and was intimately familiar with the developmental laws of chips.
