Due to the rise of smartphones and tablets, the sales of PC’s have been declining in the past few years. Intel has created a product that will help them with their declining pc sales. Intel had started from humble beginnings. Intel Corporation was formed in Mountain View, California in 1948. It was founded by Gordon E. Moore who was a chemist, Robert Noyce who was a physicist and Arthur Rock who was an investor/venture capitalist. Originally they wanted to name the company Moore Noyce but it sounded like “more noise” which meant that the technology was having some problems. It was initially call NM electronics then it was later called Integrated Electronics (Intel). In its early years, Intel were able to distinguish themselves by making semiconductors. Their first product was a 64 bit random access memory (RAM), which was able to outpace its competitors. In the same year Intel released their 1024 bit read only memory (ROM). By the 1980’s Intel sales were declining because the growing success of IBM. Intel decided to shift it’s focus to microprocessors. For 10 years, Intel was the primary supplier to the PC industry. By 1991, Intel was able to create brand loyalty with customer selection. At the turn of the century, the demand for their high end microprocessors slowed down. Intel biggest competitor, AMD, had the biggest share of the market, so Intel decided...

...Intel began in 1968. It was founded by Gordon E. Moore who is also a physicist and chemist. He was accompanied by Robert Noyce, also a fellow physicist and co-creator of integrated circuitry, after they both had left Fairchild Semiconductor. During the 1980’s Intel was run by a chemical engineer by the name of Andy Grove, who was the third member of the original Intel family. Many other Fairchild employees participated in other Silicon Valley companies. Andy Grove today is considered to be one of the company’s essential business and strategic leaders. As the 1990’s concluded, Intel had become one of the largest and by far the most successful businesses in the entire world. Intel has gone through many faces and phases. In the beginning Intel was set apart by its ability primarily to create memory chips or SRAM. When the firm was founded, Gordon Moore and Robert Noyce had the idea to name their company Moore Noyce. However when the name is spoken it is heard as “More Noise” This idea was quickly abandoned and the pursuit of a more suitable name – one which was not associated with a bad interface. The name NM Electronics was shortly thereafter chosen and used for nearly a year, when the company experienced a name change to Integrated Electronics, or INTEL for short. The rights to the name however had to be purchased as it was already in use by a fairly well known hotel chain. Though Intel had mastered the first microprocessor called the Intel 4004 in 1971 and also one of the...

Public perception views Intel as insensitive to consumer concerns and overly profit driven. The investments Intel has made in the Pentium chip to secure a competitive advantage will be pointless if consumers lose trust in the Intel brand. Analysis of Issues Intel’s dilemma is whether to recall a product that is defective under certain conditions (p. 2).1 This decision requires consideration of the financial and operational issues, as well as the potential long-term impact to Intel’s competitive advantage in the computer industry and Intel’s relationships with companies that purchase microprocessors. These issues are further described below. Competitive Advantage The new Pentium chip is the embodiment of Intel’s advantage over other companies. Intel has the distinction of being first in the industry to engineer and produce microprocessors (p. 2).

Moore and a physicist Robert Noyce who co-invented the integrated circuit, left the company named Fairfield Semiconductor and founded what became Intel. Intel was incorporated in California in 1968 and re-incorporated in Delaware in 1989. Intel developed x86, microprocessors for personal computer the leading PC microprocessor. These include 8086,386, 486, Pentium and the newest Quad Core and i7 processors. Intel processors are faster than their competitor’s (AMD) like processor but it cost more. Later they hired Andy Grove and several other researcher to help them. Andy Grove later became CEO in 1987; Grove was very demanding and expects high expectation from everyone. Grove was detailed oriented, pushed hard to measure everything and was constantly looking for ways to drive down costs and speed up development process. He became Intel’s strategic planner by discipline, and pushed people to their limits to get things done. By 1999 Intel has become one of the biggest and best known businesses in the world.

...choose from, this problem becomes even more complicated, because the innovations of other firms who might not even be direct competitors might have an impact on the focal firm, because they can change the competitive dynamics of the ecosystem. Intel is in exactly this situation – its microprocessors are essential components of many products, which is good (note ‘essential’) and bad (note ‘component’) at the same time: whereas Intel’s position in the microprocessor business is probably unrivaled, it also needs to fend of the threat of the larger ‘products’ (or: ecosystems) shift in a way that renders microprocessors obsolete, or creates different demand profiles for microprocessors which are better met by competitors’ offerings. This is exactly where Intel Research comes in – it is Intel’s sensor for the future, which, opposite to the R&D conducted by the core departments (note: Intel’s microprocessing business has its own R&D, and the integration of production and R&D was one of the core organizational design choices of Intel’s founders) follows principles of open innovation in doing exploratory research that does not necessarily focus on silicone. The case goes on to describe how Intel Research was set and the choices that led Intel Research to evolve into what it had become at the time of the case. Unsurprisingly, this case has become one of the cornerstones of my case portfolio on open innovation – not many cases capture the benefits of open innovation on...

...Term Paper: History of Intel and its microprocessors The microprocessor is a chip made of silicon that holds a central processing unit. Both the term’s central processing unit or CPU and microprocessor can be used and mean the same thing. The human brain has been compared to a microprocessor. Microprocessors are ultra fast calculators and what makes a microprocessor appear intelligent is the speed at which it can process data. The electronics industry names, microprocessors first by makers name and then model family name or number. A recent example, are the Intel Core i7 and AMD FX 8 Core Black Edition. Microprocessors provides scientist, engineers, architects, graphic designers, researchers, and other professionals with the processing power users to perform all the many functions needed to do their jobs and make new discoveries and explore what before could not have been even imagined. The history of microprocessors will be covered; this includes the history of Intel Corporation, important highlights in the development of the microprocessor. All digital computers use electronic switches. These switches represent binary digits or bits. The first computers used vacuum tubes as switches to represent on-or-off binary data, but vacuum tubes had many problems. Without the invention of the transistor, microprocessors and the modern computer would not be possible. Bell Laboratory engineers John Bardeen and Walter Brattain invented the transistor in 1947 (transistor). Transistors...
