Intel Corporation
     
         A US microelectronics manufacturer.  They produced
        the {Intel 4004}, {Intel 8080}, {Intel 8086}, {Intel 80186},
        {Intel 80286}, {Intel 80386}, {Intel 486} and {Pentium}
        {microprocessor} families as well as many other {integrated
        circuit}s and {personal computer} networking and
        communications products.
     
        Gordon Moore and Robert Noyce founded Intel in 1968 to design,
        manufacture, and market semiconductor computer memory to
        replace {magnetic core} memory, the dominant computer memory
        at that time.  Dr. Andrew S. Grove joined Intel soon after its
        incorporation.  Three years later, in 1971, Intel introduced
        the world's first {microprocessor}, the {Intel 4004}.
     
        Intel has design, development, production, and administration
        facilities throughout the western US, Europe and Asia.  In
        1995 nearly 75% of the world's {personal computer}s use Intel
        architecture.  Annual revenues are rapidly approaching $10
        billion.  In March, 1994, "Business Week" named Intel one of
        the top ten American companies in terms of profit, one of the
        top 15 market value winners, and 16th out of the magazine's
        top 1,000 companies overall.
     
        Intel invested a record $2.9 billion in capital and R&D in
        1993, and expects to increase combined spending on these
        activities to $3.5 billion in 1994.  Quarterly sales were
        $2770M and profits, $640M in Aug 1994.
