Company History & Overview

Intel Corporation was founded in 1968 by Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore. In 1969, when
Busicom asked Intel to make twelve special purpose chips for a programmable calculator, Intel
engineer Ted Hoff and others designed a single-chip, general logic device that contained 2,300
MOS transistors and incorporated all twelve computing functions. The revolutionary thumb-
nail-sized design led to the Intel 4004, the world’s first single-chip microprocessor. The ad-
vancement was a major progression from previous computers, which often ran on thousands
of vacuum tubes and filled entire rooms. Today, Intel is the world’s largest semiconductor
chipmaker based upon revenue and unit shipments. In 2008, Intel owned upwards of 80% of
the microprocessors shipped and has continued to drive the semiconductor chip market with
its predictable innovation cycles.

Litigation

 Intel is involved in an antitrust lawsuit filed by Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), its chief competitor. The
suit alleges that Intel and its Japanese subsidiary have improperly used exclusive discounts and price re-
bates on microprocessors to distributor and manufacturer customers, interfering with AMD’s ability to
sell and market its products. Essentially, the suit accuses Intel of forcing major customers into deals that
require them to cease business with AMD. The suit has been active since 2005.
