Intel Corporation, abbreviated as intel, is a worldwide corporation and technology company based in Santa Clara, California. It is the world’s largest semiconductor chip producer in terms of sales, and it is the creator of the x86 series of microprocessors, which are used in the majority of personal computers (PCs). Intel, which is based in Delaware, has been placed No. 45 on the Fortune 500 list of the largest US firms by total revenue for over a decade, from the fiscal years 2007 to 2016.

Acer, Lenovo, HP, and Dell are among the companies that use Intel microprocessors in their computer systems. Intel also makes motherboard chipsets, network interface controllers, and integrated circuits, as well as flash memory, graphics chips, embedded CPUs, and other communications and computer equipment.

Intel (integrated and electronics) was created on July 18, 1968, by Gordon Moore (of Moore’s law) and Robert Noyce, and is closely identified with Andrew Grove’s executive leadership and vision. The growth of Silicon Valley as a high-tech center was aided by Intel. Noyce was a crucial figure in the development of the integrated circuit (microchip). [requires citation] Intel was a pioneer in the development of SRAM and DRAM memory chips, which accounted for the majority of the company’s revenue until 1981.Although Intel created the world’s first commercial microprocessor chip in 1971, it was not until the success of the personal computer (PC) that this became its primary business.
