A maker of the microprocessors that power personal computers, servers, and data centers, Intel builds well-known lines like Intel Core and Xeon chips and manufactures most of them in its own factories. Founded in 1968 by Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore (who had earlier co-founded Fairchild Semiconductor), the company was briefly named N.M. Electronics. The founders considered calling it "Moore Noyce," but rejected it because it sounded like "more noise"—so they settled on "Intel," short for "integrated electronics."
