Intel Corporation (NASDAQ: INTC, HKEx: 4335),
founded 1968, is a U.S.-based multinational corporation that is
best known for designing and manufacturing microprocessors and
specialized integrated circuits. Intel also makes network cards,
motherboard chipsets, components, and other devices. Intel has
advanced research projects in all aspects of semiconductor
manufacturing, including MEMS.
Intel was founded in 1968 by Gordon E. Moore (a chemist and
physicist) and Robert Noyce (a physicist and co-inventor of the
integrated circuit) when they left Fairchild Semiconductor. It is
noteworthy that Intel competitor AMD was also founded by the
Traitorous Eight, in 1969. Intel's employee number four was Andy
Grove (a chemical engineer), who ran the company through much of
the 1980s and the high-growth 1990s. It is Grove who is now
remembered as the company's key leader. By the end of the 1990s,
Intel was one of the largest and most successful businesses in the
world, though fierce competition within the semiconductor industry
has since diminished its position somewhat.
