美国盛产怪咖啊,Sam Zeloof,来自计算机名校Carnegie Mellon University的22岁本科生,竟然在自家车库里自制芯片,有1200个晶体管的Z2,还成功了!
在家做蛋糕的多了,在家做芯片的可是头一次听说。
虽然有人嘲笑,这和农民试图造飞机是一个路子,但不得不承认,他很有毅力和执行力。
这算不算天才少年呢
Sam Zeloof, a 22-year-old undergrad student has managed to build chips in his parents’ garage.
Zeloof started his chip-making journey back in 2016 when he was a high school junior. He says that he was influenced by inventor and entrepreneur Jeri Ellsworth's YouTube videos.
After 10 years of tinkering with transistors, Zeloof decided to build his own chips and combine them with machines from the ‘70s. Zeloof is also the CEO of an augmented-reality startup called Tilt Five.
Using salvaged and homemade equipment, Zeloof now built a new chip with 1,200 transistors, Z2, in his family’s New Jersey garage, about 30 miles (48 km) from where the first transistor was produced at Bell Labs in 1947.
He documented the building process of Z2 on his personal blog and his YouTube Channel.
Zeloof is also the CEO of an augmented-reality startup called Tilt Five.

要不要押注这个公司,不会是下一个苹果吧
我觉得是,当初苹果电脑不就是Jobs and Wozniak在车库捣鼓出来的吗
考古发现:
A fully-functional Apple-I computer, which was built by Apple founders Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak and sold out of Jobs' garage, recently sold for $500,000 at an auction in Southern California. In 1976, Apple began with Jobs and Wozniak in a garage and later grew into the largest technology company on Earth.
