Intel, the world leader in silicon innovation, develops technologies, products, and initiatives to continually advance how people work and live. Explore the many ways Intel's belief in innovation has defined our corporate identity.
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 members of 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 somewhat since diminished its position.
The company currently has nearly 100,000 employees and 200 facilities world wide. Its revenues for 2005 were $38.8 billion. Its Fortune 500 ranking is 50th, and its stock symbol is INTC.
For decades, the technology developed by Intel Corporation has enabled the computer and Internet revolution that is changing the world. Founded in 1968 to build semiconductor memory products, Intel introduced the world's first microprocessor in 1971. Today, Intel—the world's largest chip maker—is also a leading manufacturer of computer, networking, and communications products.
