The Revolution Begins
Throughout history, new and improved technologies have transformed the human experience. In the 20th century, the pace of change sped up radically as we entered the computing age. For nearly 40 years Intel innovations have continuously created new possibilities in the lives of people around the world.
1975 The Altair 8800 microcomputer, based on the Intel® 8080microprocessor, was the first successful home or personal computer.
1972 The Intel® 4004 processor, Intel’s first microprocessor, powered the Busicom calculator and paved the way for the personal computer.
1994 Intel chips powered almost 75 percent of all desktop computers. 1976 An operator in an early bunnysuit shows how a 4-inch wafer is prepared for a positive acid spin.
1982 Within 6 years of itsrelease, an estimated 15 million 286-based personal computers were installed around the world.
2001 The Itanium® processor is the first in a family of 64-bit products from Intel and is designed for high-end, enterprise-class servers and workstations.
2005 Dual-core technology was introduced.
The Revolution Continues
2006 Intel launched four processors for servers under the Xeon 5300brand, and another processor under the Core 2 Extreme series for high performance computing. These "quad-core" processors show improved performance over others with just one or two processing cores.
1995 Released in the fall of 1995, the Intel® Pentium® Pro processor was designed to fuel 32-bit server and workstation applications, enabling fast computer-aided design, mechanical engineering andscientific computation.
Intel continues to deliver on the promise of Moore’s Law with the introduction of powerful multi-core technologies, transforming the way we live, work, and play once again.
1981 The Intel® 8088 microprocessor was selected to power the IBM PC.
1989 The National Academy of Engineering named the microprocessor one of ten outstanding engineering achievements for theadvancement of human welfare.
1998 The Intel® Pentium II Xeon processors feature technical innovations specifically designed for workstations and servers that utilize demanding business applications.
2003 Intel® Centrino® mobile technology brought high performance, enhanced battery life, and integrated WLAN capability to thinner, lighter PCs.
2007 In the second half of 2007, Intel began productionof the next generation Intel® Core™2 and Xeon processor families based on 45-nanometer (nm) Hi-k metal gate silicon technology.
Moore’s Law
In 1965, Intel co-founder Gordon Moore predicted that the number of transistors on a chip would double about every two years. Since then, Moore’s Law has fueled a technology revolution as Intel has exponentially increased the number of transistorsintegrated into it processors for greater performance and energy efficiency.
Note: Number of transistors is an approximate number.
