Intel 40th Anniversary Countdown
« on: July 17, 2008, 10:11:57 PM »
Did you know that Intel Corporation was founded 40 years ago this week? Intel's original business plan was only 165 words long, contained three typos, and was intentionally vague to avoid attracting competitors too soon. By the end of 1968, Intel had raised less than $3 million in funding, as well as leased an office in Mountain View, Calif., hired close to 30 employees, and recorded $2,672 in annual revenues. Today, Intel has close to 82,000 employees and reported $9.5 billion in revenues for the second quarter. Click here for more information on Intel's 40-year history of technology breakthroughs.

Please just walk away. I don't want to have to stand here and say something so awesome that I'll have to remember it the rest of the day. Thank you!

The link in the above article has a pretty interesting time line of Intel's history and the progression of microprocessor technologies year by year. It's definitely worth the read.
