Located on Israel's Mediterranean coast, Haifa is home to Intel's Israel Development Center (IDC), as well as a sales and marketing support office. IDC was established in 1974 as Intel's first development center outside the United States. Multi-disciplinary teams at this center develop very large-scale integration (VLSI) components, VLSI CAD tools and software technologies.
The pioneering 8088 processor, Intel® math coprocessors, the i860® XP processor, Ethernet communication chips, and cache and memory controllers are a few of the more than 50 products designed in IDC. IDC led the invention and development of the Intel® Pentium® processor with MMX™ technology, launched by Intel in early 1997, the Intel® Centrino™ Mobile Technology, launched in early 2003, and now develops Intel's future mobile microprocessors.
The IDC networking group develops advanced networking components enabling Intel and third parties to develop the most advanced PC connectivity solutions for LAN and broadband access. The CAD tool group develops logic and performance verification tools and more for Intel's chip designers, providing software tools for programming the most highly advanced processors. The software group develops software technologies and products.
The Haifa location is also home to one of Intel's sales and marketing offices for Israel. This office works with local PC manufacturers, distribution partners and the software industry, and is part of the Europe, Middle East and Africa Sales and Marketing organization.
