Today, Intel supplies the computing and communications industries with chips, boards and systems building blocks that are the "ingredients" of computers, servers, and networking and communications products. These products are used by industry members to create advanced computing and communications systems. Intel's mission is to be the preeminent building block supplier to the worldwide Internet economy.
Intel® Architecture platform products
Microprocessors, also called central processing units (CPUs) or chips, are frequently described as the "brains" of a computer, because they control the central processing of data in personal computers (PCs), servers, workstations and other computers. Intel offers microprocessors optimized for each segment of the computing market:
- Intel® Pentium® III Xeon™ processors for mid-range to high-end servers and workstations
- Intel® Pentium® 4 and Pentium® III processors for entry-level servers and workstations and performance desktop PCs
- Intel® Celeron® processors for value PC systems
- Mobile Pentium® III processors for performance in mobile PC systems
Motherboards combine Intel microprocessors and chipsets to form the basic subsystem of a PC or server.
e-Business solutions enable services and channel programs to accelerate integration and deployment of Intel Architecture-based systems and products.
Wireless communications and computing products These products are component-level hardware and software focusing on digital cellular communications and other applications needing both low-power processing and high performance. These products are used in mobile phones, handheld devices, two-way pagers and many other products. For these markets, Intel offers Intel® Flash memory, application processors based on the Intel® StrongARM* processor core, and baseband chipsets for cellular phones and other wireless devices.
Networking and communications products Communications building blocks for next-generation networks and Internet data centers are offered at various levels of integration. These products are used in communications servers, network appliances and computer telephony integration equipment.
Component-level building blocks include communications silicon such as network processors and other board-level components, software and embedded control chips. These products are integrated in communications hardware such as hubs, routers, switches and servers for local and wide area networking applications. Embedded control chips are also used in laser printers, imaging, automotive systems and other applications.
New business products These products and services include e-Commerce data center services as well as connected peripherals.
Intel's major customers include:
Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of computer systems, cellular phone and handheld computing devices, telecommunications and networking communications equipment, and peripherals.
Users of PC and network communications products including individuals, large and small businesses, and Internet service providers—who buy Intel's PC enhancements, business communications products and networking products through reseller, retail, e-Business and OEM channels.
Other manufacturers including makers of a wide range of industrial and communications equipment.
