Intel

Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore incorporat­e Intel in Santa Clara, California, on 18th July, 1968, where its headquarte­rs remains to this day. Originally called NM Electronic­s for Noyce and Moore, the company eventually purchased the rights to use the name Intel, which was short for Integrated Electronic­s. The fact that “intel” was associated with “intelligen­ce” was seen as a bonus. Their rst processor, the 4004, was released in 1971 for calculator­s, but IBM’s choice of the 8088 processor for the IBM PC helped propel the chipmaker to its dominant position today.
