Today, Intel supplies the computing and communications industries with chips, boards, systems and software building blocks that are the "ingredients" of computers, servers, and networking and communications products. These products rely on Intel's technology leadership and expertise in silicon design and manufacturing to help customers 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® 4 and Pentium® III processors for performance desktop PCs and entry-level servers and workstations
	•	Intel® Celeron® processors for value PC systems
	•	Mobile Intel® Pentium® 4 and Intel® Pentium® III processors-M for performance and extended battery life in mobile PC systems
	•	Intel® Xeon™ processors for mid-range to high-end servers and workstations
	•	Intel® Itanium™ processors for enterprise-class servers

Chipsets perform essential logic functions surrounding the CPU in computers, and support and extend the graphics, video and other capabilities of many Intel processor-based systems.

Motherboards combine Intel microprocessors and chipsets to form the basic subsystem of a PC or server.

Networking and communications products These products include network connectivity products based on Ethernet technology such as network interface cards, optical components built on industry-standard interfaces and network processing solutions that provide programmable building blocks for modular networking infrastructure. Embedded control chips are also offered for use in laser printers, imaging products, automotive systems and other applications.

Wireless communications and computing products Intel provides component-level hardware and software for digital cellular communications and other applications requiring both low-power processing and high performance, such as cellular handsets and handheld computing devices. For these markets, Intel offers Intel® Flash memory, application processors based on the Intel® StrongARM* processor core and the Intel® XScale™ microarchitecture, and cellular baseband chipsets.

New business products These products and services include Web hosting and data center services.

Intel’s major customers include:

Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of computer systems, cellular handsets and handheld computing devices, telecommunications and networking communications equipment, and peripherals.

PC and network communications products users including individuals, large and small businesses, and service providers—who buy Intel's PC enhancements, networking products and business communications products through reseller, retail, e-Business and OEM channels.

Other manufacturers including makers of a wide range of industrial and communications equipment.
