Intel(Intel Corporation, Santa Clara, CA, www.intel.com) The second largest semiconductor manufacturing company (Samsung is the largest as of 2019). Intel is also a leading vendor in computer, networking and communications products. Intel's hardware and Microsoft's software pioneered the PC and revolutionized the computer industry. The x86 family of CPUs is the most widely used in desktop PCs, laptops and servers.
Intel was founded in 1968 by Robert Noyce, Gordon Moore and Andy Grove in Mountain View, CA. A year later it introduced its first product, a 64-bit bipolar static RAM chip. By 1971, its very successful memory chips began to render magnetic core storage obsolete.
In that same year, Intel developed the microprocessor. In response to a calculator chip order from Japanese manufacturer Busicom, Intel engineer Marcian E. "Ted" Hoff decided it would make more sense to design a general-purpose machine. The resulting 4004 chip was the world's first microprocessor (see 4004).
Although known for its x86 family of chips, over the years, Intel developed a wide variety of chips and board-level products, including the MULTIBUS used in industrial applications. See x86, Itanium, IA-64 and Tera-Scale.
