HAPPY BIRTHDAY INTEL

HAPPY BIRTHDAY INTEL...!!




Intel was founded in Mountain View, California on july 18, 1968 by Gordon E. Moore ( a chemist and physicist), Robert Noyce (a physicist and co-inventor of the integrated circuit), and Arthur Rock (investor and venture capitalist).

Moore and Noyce came from Fairchild Semiconductor and were Intel's first two employees.

The total initial investment in Intel was $2.5 million
convertible debentures and $10,000
from Rock.

Moore and Noyce initially wanted to
name the company "Moore Noyce". The name, however, was a partial homophone for "more noise" – an ill- suited name for an electronic company.

Instead they used the name NM Electronics for almost a year, before deciding to call their company Integrated Electronics or "Intel" for short.

Intel was the first company to come up with a microprocessor chip:the famous Intel 4004.
