Each is expected to be based on transistor technology more advanced than the last.<blockquote>为了实现这一目标，首席执行官帕特·基辛格(Pat Gelsinger)周一制定了一项计划，要求该公司在2021年至2025年间每年至少推出一个新的中央处理器（现代计算机的大脑）。每一个都有望基于比上一个更先进的晶体管技术。</blockquote> Intel was long the unquestioned leader in computing performance. Co-founder Gordon Moore defined the law underpinning the semiconductor industry, describing how engineers would find ways to shrink circuits at a predictable pace year after year. But the company has&nbsp;fallen behind Asian rivals&nbsp;after a series of missteps and delays.<blockquote>英特尔长期以来一直是计算性能领域无可争议的领导者。联合创始人戈登·摩尔定义了支撑半导体行业的定律，描述了工程师如何找到年复一年以可预测的速度缩小电路的方法。但在经历了一系列失误和延误后，该公司已经落后于亚洲竞争对手。</blockquote> Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing&nbsp;Co.&nbsp;and South Korea’s&nbsp;Samsung Electronics&nbsp;Co.&nbsp;are now both ahead of Intel in chip-manufacturing technology. They manufacture chips on contract for chip-design specialists, allowing those customers to gain an edge on Intel.<blockquote>台积电公司和南韩三星电子公司目前在芯片制造技术上都领先于英特尔。他们根据合同为芯片设计专家制造芯片，使这些客户能够获得相对于英特尔的优势。</blockquote> “We are accelerating our innovation roadmap to ensure we are on a clear path to process performance leadership by 2025,” Mr. Gelsinger said. The CEO&nbsp;rejoined Intel in February&nbsp;with a mandate to revitalize the company after previously serving as its chief technology officer.<blockquote>“我们正在加快创新路线图，以确保到2025年我们走上实现流程绩效领先的清晰道路，”Gelsinger先生说。这位首席执行官在担任英特尔首席技术官后，于二月份重新加入英特尔，肩负着振兴公司的使命。</blockquote> The plan signals that Intel doesn’t believe in the near-term demise of Moore’s Law even as chip-making becomes more costly and technically difficult.<blockquote>该计划表明，即使芯片制造变得更加昂贵和技术困难，英特尔也不相信摩尔定律会在短期内消亡。</blockquote> The company reiterated its intention to release a new CPU for desktop computers this year and one for servers in the first quarter of 2022. Intel earlier this year&nbsp;delayed introducing the server chip&nbsp;to add features, signaling that the path to recovery isn’t without challenges.<blockquote>该公司重申，打算在今年发布一款用于台式电脑的新CPU，并在2022年第一季度发布一款用于服务器的新CPU。英特尔今年早些时候推迟了推出服务器芯片以增加功能，这表明复苏之路并非没有挑战。</blockquote> Intel said it plans its next round of personal-computer and server processors in 2023. Those, it said, would fully embrace a new form of circuit-printing called extreme ultraviolet lithography—the kind of cutting-edge tooling needed to produce the tiniest transistors, each a fraction of the width of an average human hair. Transistors are the building blocks of chips, and billions of them are needed to make calculations inside modern laptops, desktop computers and computer servers.<blockquote>英特尔表示，计划在2023年推出下一轮个人电脑和服务器处理器。报告称，这些将完全采用一种称为极紫外光刻的新型电路印刷形式——这是生产最小晶体管所需的尖端工具，每个晶体管的宽度只有普通人头发的一小部分。晶体管是芯片的组成部分，在现代笔记本电脑、台式电脑和计算机服务器中进行计算需要数十亿个晶体管。</blockquote> Further performance improvements and innovations in transistor design should follow through 2025, Intel said.<blockquote>英特尔表示，晶体管设计的进一步性能改进和创新应该会持续到2025年。</blockquote> By that year, the company said it hopes to introduce chips with transistor technology it is calling Intel 18A, a loose reference to its minuscule size—measured in angstroms rather than nanometers, which are currently used to define transistor size. Intel said it is already working on developing the chip.<blockquote>到那一年，该公司表示希望推出采用晶体管技术的芯片，称为英特尔18A，这是对其微小尺寸的松散引用——以埃而不是目前用于定义晶体管尺寸的纳米来测量。英特尔表示，它已经在致力于开发这种芯片。</blockquote> Ann Kelleher, Intel’s general manager of technology development, said the company is on track to meet its goals, citing its embrace of extreme ultraviolet technology, a more streamlined chip-development process and an openness to innovation coming from outside Intel.<blockquote>英特尔技术开发总经理安·凯莱赫(Ann Kelleher)表示，该公司有望实现其目标，理由是该公司采用了极紫外线技术、更简化的芯片开发流程以及对来自英特尔外部的创新持开放态度。</blockquote> Intel is racing with competitors that also are working on increasingly sophisticated chips. TSMC&nbsp;already has chips in development&nbsp;with smaller transistors than those featured in its currently leading-edge processors.<blockquote>英特尔正在与同样致力于日益复杂芯片的竞争对手展开竞争。台积电已经在开发芯片，其晶体管比其目前领先的处理器中的晶体管更小。</blockquote> Rebuilding Intel’s chip design and production process is only part of Mr. Gelsinger’s plan to revitalize the company. While Intel remains America’s largest chip company by sales,Nvidia&nbsp;Corp.&nbsp;has surpassed it in valuation. Known for its graphics chips, Nvidia has become an investor darling with its bet on some of the hottest fields in technology, such videogaming and artificial intelligence. The company, along with perennial Intel CPU-rival&nbsp;Advanced Micro Devices&nbsp;Inc.,have taken market share from Intel.<blockquote>重建英特尔的芯片设计和生产流程只是基辛格先生振兴公司计划的一部分。虽然英特尔仍然是美国销售额最大的芯片公司，但英伟达公司的估值已经超过了它。英伟达以其图形芯片而闻名，因押注视频游戏和人工智能等一些最热门的技术领域而成为投资者的宠儿。该公司以及英特尔CPU的长期竞争对手Advanced Micro Devices Inc.已经从英特尔手中夺取了市场份额。</blockquote> Mr. Gelsinger said in March that Intel would become a leading chip manufacturer,not just for its own needs but also for others. He has committed to investing billions of dollars toward that goal, and&nbsp;Intel is in talks to buy&nbsp;chip-making specialist GlobalFoundries Inc., The Wall Street Journal has reported.<blockquote>基辛格先生在三月份表示，英特尔将成为领先的芯片制造商，不仅是为了自己的需求，也是为了他人的需求。据《华尔街日报》报道，他已承诺为这一目标投资数十亿美元，英特尔正在就收购芯片制造专家GlobalFoundries Inc.进行谈判。</blockquote> Intel said it had signed mobile-phone chip company&nbsp;Qualcomm&nbsp;Inc.&nbsp;as a customer for chips due for production in 2024. Qualcomm has been a big user of chips made by TSMC and Samsung.<blockquote>英特尔表示，已与手机芯片公司高通公司签约，成为将于2024年生产的芯片的客户。高通一直是台积电和三星制造的芯片的大用户。</blockquote> To help ensure technology hiccups don’t delay its recovery plan and return to the technological high-ground, Intel will monitor progress at every step, Ms. Kelleher said. “In the areas where we have true risk within a process, we absolutely strive to have a Plan B,” she said. “So if Plan A doesn’t work, we can cut over much more easily.”<blockquote>凯莱赫表示，为了帮助确保技术问题不会推迟其恢复计划并重返技术高地，英特尔将监控每一步的进展。“在流程中存在真正风险的领域，我们绝对会努力制定B计划，”她说。“因此，如果A计划不起作用，我们可以更容易地过渡。”</blockquote> The company also said it was adjusting the naming of its newest transistor technology to better reflect industry standards. Intel’s 10-nanometer chips will now be called Intel 7, and its 7-nanometer chips will be called Intel 4. Years ago, cutting-edge transistor-size numbers referred to actual dimensions, but they lost real-world meaning as the structure of transistors changed.<blockquote>该公司还表示，正在调整其最新晶体管技术的命名，以更好地反映行业标准。英特尔的10纳米芯片现在将被称为英特尔7，其7纳米芯片将被称为英特尔4。几年前，尖端的晶体管尺寸数字指的是实际尺寸，但随着晶体管结构的变化，它们失去了现实世界的意义。</blockquote> Mr. Gelsinger is trying to execute the turnaround during an unprecedented chip shortage,brought on by supercharged demand&nbsp;during the Covid-19 pandemic for videogames, laptops and many other devices. The CEO has projected that outsize demand for semiconductors would continue for years, justifying Intel’s manufacturing capacity. The current global shortage of chips, he added, could take until 2023 to be resolved.<blockquote>基辛格先生正试图在前所未有的芯片短缺期间扭转局面，这是由Covid-19大流行期间对视频游戏、笔记本电脑和许多其他设备的需求旺盛造成的。这位首席执行官预计，对半导体的巨大需求将持续多年，这证明了英特尔的制造能力是合理的。他补充说，目前全球芯片短缺的问题可能要到2023年才能解决。</blockquote> The situation is also providing somewhat of a tailwind for the company. Intel on Thursday reported second-quarter results that benefited from stronger-than-expected sales in its PC-related chips.<blockquote>这种情况也为该公司提供了一定的推动力。英特尔周四公布了第二季度业绩，受益于其PC相关芯片销售强于预期。</blockquote>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Intel Sets Plan to Again Become World’s Premier Chip Company<blockquote>英特尔计划再次成为全球首屈一指的芯片公司</blockquote></title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 12.5px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nIntel Sets Plan to Again Become World’s Premier Chip Company<blockquote>英特尔计划再次成为全球首屈一指的芯片公司</blockquote>\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\nThe Wall Street Journal2021-07-27 14:51\n\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\nThe race is on at&nbsp;Intel&nbsp;Corp.as the semiconductor giant pledges to return to the top of its game, committing to produce the world’s best chips within four years.<blockquote>英特尔公司(Intel Corp.)的竞争正在进行中，这家半导体巨头承诺重返行业巅峰，承诺在四年内生产出世界上最好的芯片。</blockquote> To get there, Chief Executive Pat Gelsinger laid out a plan Monday for the company to introduce at least a new central processing unit—the brains of the modern computer—every year between 2021 and 2025.
