我总是对不可知的未来,充满期待。我们认为在公元2000年之际,微处理器的性能将比现在更提升20倍,达到两千MIPS(即每秒可执行20亿个指令),每颗芯片上晶体管数则达五千万颗,和目前Pentium处理器上三百万颗相比,等于是现在的16倍。显然这其中还有许多技术成长的空间,因此未来几年仍要靠不断地创新与突破,才能达到这样的成果。在市场方面,我认为使用个人电脑的趋势仍会继续狂飙到下一世纪,而且比例将逐年增高。以区域来看,亚太地区与中南美各地,应该是未来这几年成长最快的地区。1994年全球个人电脑销售量约为五千万台,我想在本世纪末,每年的销售数字应该可以轻易突破一亿台。这已远远超过汽车与电视的生产量,使个人电脑成为20世纪末最普及的电子产品。由于我自1991年开始就决定同时发展P5与P6,我们有充分的信心可以主导此一市场潮流。P6
I am always looking forward to an unknown future. We think that by the year 2000, the performance of microprocessors will be 20 times more than now, reaching 2 MIPS (2 billion instructions per second), and the number of transistors on each chip will reach 50 million , Compared to the current three million Pentium processors, which is now 16 times. Obviously, there is still much room for technological growth, so in the next few years we must rely on continuous innovation and breakthroughs in order to achieve such results. In the market, I think the trend of using personal computers will continue to surge into the next century, and the proportion will increase year by year. Regionally, the Asia-Pacific region and all over Central and South America should be the fastest-growing regions in the coming years. In 1994, the global PC sales were about 50 million units. I think the annual sales figures should easily exceed 100 million units by the end of this century. This far exceeds the production of cars and TVs, making personal computers the most popular electronic products by the end of the 20th century. Since I decided to develop P5 and P6 at the same time since 1991, we have full confidence to dominate this market trend. P6
