Its founders laid the foundation for the company, which, in its early years, gained prominence through the development of RAM memory.
Intel became a market leader in the 1970s with the release of SRAM and DRAM memory integrated circuits.
In 1971, the company revolutionized the industry by launching the world’s first commercial microprocessor, the Intel 4004, although widespread commercial success only came in the 1990s.
During the 1980s and 1990s, Intel heavily invested in the development of new generations of x86 microprocessors, which became the standard for most personal computers worldwide.
Partnerships with major computer manufacturers such as Dell, HP, Apple, and Lenovo contributed to its rapid rise and market dominance.
This growth supported the company’s listing on Nasdaq under the ticker INTC, and from the 2000s onward, Intel began diversifying its portfolio, expanding into areas such as communications, security, and connectivity.
The acquisition of McAfee marked its entry into the cybersecurity market, while advances in non-volatile memory technologies strengthened its position in the mobile device sector.
Between 2020 and 2024, Intel continued investing in the development of its product line, focusing on artificial intelligence technologies, cloud computing, and 5G connectivity.
