Intel (disambiguation) and
Intelligence (disambiguation). Intel Corporation (; ) is the world's largest
semiconductor company and the inventor of the
x86 series of microprocessors, the processors found in many
personal computers. Founded in 1968 as Integrated Electronics Corporation and based in
Santa Clara, California,
USA, Intel also makes
motherboard chipsets,
network cards and ICs,
flash memory, graphic chips, embedded processors, and other devices related to communications and computing. Founded by semiconductor pioneers
Robert Noyce and
Gordon Moore, Intel combines advanced chip design capability with a leading-edge manufacturing capability. Originally known primarily to engineers and technologists, Intel's successful "Intel Inside" advertising campaign of the 1990s made it and its
Pentium processor household names.

Gordon Moore and Robert Noyce founded Intel in 1968 to design, manufacture, and market semiconductor computer memory to replace
magnetic core memory, the dominant computer memory at that time. Dr. Andrew S. Grove joined Intel soon after its incorporation. Three years later, in 1971, Intel introduced the world's first
microprocessor, the
Intel 4004.
Intel has design, development, production, and administration facilities throughout the western US, Europe and Asia. In 1995 nearly 75% of the world's
personal computers use Intel architecture. Annual revenues are rapidly approaching $10 billion. In March, 1994, "Business Week" named Intel one of the top ten American companies in terms of profit, one of the top 15 market value winners, and 16th out of the magazine's top 1,000 companies overall.
Intel invested a record $2.9 billion in capital and R&D in 1993, and expects to increase combined spending on these activities to $3.5 billion in 1994. Quarterly sales were $2770M and profits, $640M in Aug 1994.
