Where did Intel come from?

Intel Corporation is the largest semiconductor chip manufacturer in the world. Founded in 1968, it has a history of product innovation and market leadership of 4 1 year. 197 1 year, Intel introduced the world's first microprocessor. The computer and Internet revolution brought by microprocessor has changed the whole world. Intel Corporation (NASDAQ: INTC, HKEx: 4335) is headquartered in Santa Clara, California, USA. Robert noyce and Gordon Moore, the founders of Intel, originally hoped that the name of their new company would be a combination of their names-Moore Noyce, but when they went to the industrial and commercial bureau for registration, they found that the name had been registered by a hotel chain first. As a last resort, they adopted the abbreviation of "integrated electronics" as the company name. At present, the top management is Chairman Craig Barrett and President and CEO paul otellini.

With the popularity of personal computers, Intel has become the world's largest technology giant in designing and producing semiconductors.

1955, william shockley, the "father of transistors", left Bell Laboratories to set up Shockley Semiconductor Laboratories, and attracted many talented young scientists to join, but soon, shockley's management methods and strange behaviors caused dissatisfaction among employees. Among them, robert noyce, Gordon Moore, Julius Blank, Eugene Clare, Kim Henny, Jay Hong Lin, Sheldon Roberts and Victor Grinik, who were called the Eight Rebellions by shockley, resigned in June of 1957+ 10 and founded Fairchild Semiconductor Company. Andy Grove joined Fairchild Semiconductor Company on 1963 at the invitation of Gordon Moore.

Due to the rapid development of Fairchild Semiconductor, the internal organization management and product problems are becoming more and more unbalanced. 1In July 1968, robert noyce and Gordon Moore, two founders of Fairchild Semiconductor, resigned. 16 In July, they co-founded Intel Corporation in the name of integrated electronics. Andy Grove also volunteered to follow in Gordon Moore's footsteps and become the third employee of Intel.

According to Andy Grove's oral autobiography, if he is the third employee of the company, he is "one of the founders of Intel". But in terms of ownership, he was the first employee to join voluntarily because he was not invited to buy shares at the price of 1 USD.
