Intel

Intel is a semiconductor and computing company that designs and manufactures processors and related technology. Its products are used in personal computers, servers, data centres, networks, industrial systems and edge devices. Unlike many chip designers, Intel operates large semiconductor fabrication facilities and has been expanding foundry services intended to manufacture chips for external customers as well as its own product groups.

The company’s portfolio includes Intel Core and Xeon processors, graphics products, network and connectivity components, programmable devices and software-development tools. Intel platforms support consumer laptops and desktops, business PCs, cloud infrastructure, high-performance computing and telecommunications workloads. The company also develops accelerator technology and software intended for artificial intelligence, security and data processing. Its manufacturing roadmap covers advanced process nodes, packaging and foundry capabilities across facilities in several countries.

Intel was founded in 1968 by Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore, with Andy Grove joining soon afterwards. The company first made memory chips, then introduced the 4004 microprocessor in 1971. Its x86 processors became central to the personal-computer market through their use in IBM-compatible PCs. Intel later broadened its work across enterprise servers, networking and manufacturing. The company name is derived from integrated electronics.

Intel’s corporate headquarters is at 2200 Mission College Boulevard, Santa Clara, California 95054-1549, United States. Its published headquarters telephone number is +1 408 765 8080. Product assistance, developer resources, sales enquiries and regional office contacts are provided through Intel’s support and contact websites.

For the most current product, office and support information, visitors should use the official Intel website, because regional availability and contact routes can change. Corporate services and product availability can differ by market.
