This is a timeline of Intel, one of the world's largest and highest valued semiconductor chip makers.
Contents
Big picture
Time period | Key developments at Intel |
---|---|
1970–1980 | Intel manufactures a variety of semiconductors—from DRAM to processors. It goes IPO in 1971. |
1981–1986 | Intel's share of DRAM decreases due to competition with Japan, while its share of processor manufacturing increases (and goes through a "valley of death" in 1985–1986). Andrew Grove presides over its difficult decision to transition away from primarily making DRAM memory chips into primarily making processors. Intel also contracts with IBM to establish Intel chips as the standard for the personal computer, paving way for Intel's dominance over the market. |
1987–1998 | Andrew Grove becomes CEO of Intel in 1987. This era is dominated by a boom in personal computer sales. The Intel-IBM alliance is fragile, but Intel benefits by setting the standard for "IBM Clones" like Compaq. Intel also encounters increasing competition from AMD. By 1998, Intel rolls out 3 major semiconductor lines for the personal computer market. From 1987 to 1998, Intel's stock price rose 31.6 percent a year and revenues grew from $1.9 billion to $25.1 billion.[1] |
1998–2005 | Craig Barrett becomes Intel CEO. The Internet was beginning to usher in massive changes in e-commerce and consumer behavior. Intel launches Centrino mobile technology, which helps usher in the wireless era. |
2005–2011 | With Moore's Law starting to slow down in 2005, Intel starts releasing multicore processors.[2] By the end of this period, Intel also gains significant traction in its competition against Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). |
2012–2015 | Smartphone purchases significantly increase, but by the end of this period, PC sales start to decline (even though Intel still retains dominance in the PC share of the semiconductor market). Intel's smartphone processors still fail to gain significant traction. Intel also starts to manufacture processors for the Internet of Things market. |
Full timeline
Year | Month and date | Event type | Details |
---|---|---|---|
1968 | July 18 | Company | Intel is founded by Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore, both who left Fairchild Semiconductor.[3] |
1969 | May 1 | Competition | Advanced Micro Devices is founded by Jerry Sanders. This company would become the second-largest supplier and only significant rival to Intel in the market for x86-based microprocessors. |
1970 | October | Products | Intel comes out with its 3rd product, the Intel 1103, which put Intel on the map.[4] |
1971 | October 13 | Company | Intel goes IPO at a price of $23.50 a share. At 350,000 shares, this sums to a total of $8.225M.[5] |
1971 | November 15 | Product | Intel launches its first microprocessor, the 4004.[6][7] |
1972 | April | Product | Intel announces the first 8-bit microprocessor, the 8008.[6][7][8] |

1989 | April 10 | Product | Intel introduces the 80486 microprocessor, which it sole-sources for 4 years. This offers backwards compatibility.[4] |
1989 | October | Marketing | Intel launches the "Red X" marketing campaign by discrediting its original 16-bit and 8-bit products, in order to encourage more people to adopt 32-bit computing.[10] |
1990 | June 3 | Team | Robert Noyce suddenly dies from a heart attack.[11] |
1990 | November | Competition | Intel loses its suit against AMD. This loss allows AMD to create clones of the 386 processor.[12] |
1991 | Spring | Product | Intel decides that it will stick with CISC architecture, and cuts off support for RISC architecture, which was internally developed by Les Kohn.[4] |
1991 | Company | Intel starts the Intel Inside marketing campaign.[6][13] | |
