Intel case: Takeaways Question 1 • To capitalize on the first mover advantage by creating semiconductor memory chips that were sound in product design and technology. They were risk takers and strong believers in the product they design. • Semiconductor manufacturing is a complex process and involves huge investment in technology and equipment, which caused the production yields, a main driver of the manufacturing cost would fall initially with new processes. Yields would later improve with process

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

Shawn Kersh NT1110 July 20, 2015 PENTIUM FLAW The Pentium Flaw occurred when Intel’s Pentium CPU’s 3.1 million transistors performed division incorrectly. The problem was not only realized by Intel’s engineers after the release of the product in 1993, but it was also discovered by a mathematician at Lynchburg College in West Virginia by the name of Thomas Nicely. When the problem was discovered and brought to the attention of then CEO, Andy Grove, he resisted ideas to recall the product

FINA - 010 Intel: Managing Working Capital Introduction op y In early 2004, Intel was the undisputed leader in the microprocessor industry with about 90% market share. Since 1968 when it was founded, Intel had launched many groundbreaking products. By 2004, it had 450 products and services ranging from the ubiquitous PC microprocessors like Pentium, the 64-bit high-end Itanium 2 to mobile computing chipsets such as Centrino. Intel ended 2002 with revenues of $ 26.7 billion. Many analysts believed

between 2002 and 2005, the total cost of operations in these countries were still the lowest in the world, and these markets represented important and growing opportunities for Intel. While U.S. regulations had prohibited the construction of a semiconductor fab in China, given intellectual property (IP) concerns, Intel had operated an AT plant in Shanghai for almost a decade with a second AT plant opened in Chengdu in 2003; the firm also had several university research and innovation labs in China

new entrants. Supplier power The bargaining power of suppliers in the manufacturing face is considerably low in this industry, for instance, processors of the same architecture used by RIM is produced by many companies such as Intel, Freescale Semiconductor, Texas Instruments, Royal Philips Electronics, Samsung and STMicroelectronics. However, as I mentioned earlier there are different suppliers for the services that RIM is offering. RIM has to utilize the networks of existing mobile operators
