Moore's Law has been a cornerstone of the rapid advancement of digital technology over the past decades, although it is now confronting physical limits and diminishing economic returns. 過去幾十年，摩爾定律一直是數字技術快速進步的基石，儘管如今它正面臨物理極限和邊際收益遞減的挑戰。 For an industry conditioned to equate progress with nanometers, the Tau Scaling Law disclosed by Huawei on Monday is a challenge to the organizing logic of the semiconductor ecosystem. 對於一個習慣於用納米衡量進步的行業而言，華為5月25日公布的“τ scaling law”（陶縮放定律）無疑是對半導體生態系統運行邏輯的一次挑戰。 Instead of continuing the increasingly expensive race to shrink transistors, Tau Scaling proposes that future chip performance gains can come from compressing the signal propagation time through architectural and timing innovations. Huawei has set a target of reaching a chip density equivalent to 1.4 nanometers by 2031. 陶縮放定律提出，摒棄代價日益高昂的晶體管微縮競賽，轉而通過架構與時序創新壓...
