One weekend afternoon in the spring of 1968, Gordon Moore dropped by Bob Noyce's home. It was on this day that the two agreed to join together to launch a new company to pursue large-scale integrated (LSI) memory. Intel Corporation was born and the company was officially launched in July of that year.
"We knew we wanted to give this new technology a shot," Gordon recalls.
Little did they know that their new venture would define contemporary electronics and change the way the world works, lives and plays.
Since that day in 1968 Intel has always looked to the future, asking "what's next?" The answer is usually a better way or a new approach.
Noyce and Moore were soon joined by Andy Grove. The new company soon led the industry in the development of many significant innovations, including the first microprocessor in 1971, just 3 years after the company was founded. That year Intel also introduced the world's first erasable programmable memory, the EPROM. The powerful combination  of the microprocessor and the EPROM proved to be the foundation for the personal computing revolution. The world changed. But Intel didn't. The company and its employees, continue to innovate, to create, to anticipate.
Intel's leadership is the product of a strong corporate culture based on a strong set of values that still guide the company under the leadership of chairman Andy Grove, CEO Craig Barrett and President Paul Otellini.
