Introduction
We live in a digital age. Music, video, phone calls, information creation and information consumption are all, by and large, done digitally. A huge proportion of this happens on the Internet. People use the Internet and its content via computers: As Internet content becomes more sophisticated with, for example, film, music and podcasts, more computing power is needed. The computer chips inside computers need to keep pace with that demand. Intel is best known for producing the chips that deliver this increased computing power. Computer chips are essentially collections of transistors - tiny electronic devices that control the flow of electricity to create the 1s and 0s that underpin computing. Intel is the world's leader in silicon innovation. Silicon is made from purified sand that is super-heated. Produced as a huge sausage-like shape called an ingot, it is sliced into wafers. The chips are manufactured on these wafers. Transistors are the building blocks of computer chips that Intel has been making for 40 years. Intel has been working to make these transistors smaller so that more of them could be fitted onto the same area of silicon, making the chips more powerful. This came at a price. Until recently, the smaller the transistors, the hotter the chips tended to run. In 2007 Intel developed a breakthrough in the materials used to construct the transistors. Not only can these transistors work faster, they can also do this while generating less heat. Intel has started to use this new material for its latest generation of processors. These are made from transistors only 45 nanometres in size. This means over 2,000 of them could fit on the full stop at the end of this sentence. A 45 nanometer transistor can switch on and off approximately...

Business Overview
Intel is the world's largest semiconductor chip maker, based on revenue. Main business area is development of advanced integrated digital technology products, primarily integrated circuits, for industries such as computing and communications. Company also develop platforms, which defined as integrated
suites of digital computing technologies that are designed and configured to work together to provide an optimized user computing solution compared to components that are used separately. Main goal of Intel Corporation is to be the preeminent provider of semiconductor chips and platforms for the worldwide digital economy.

Brief Historical Data
Intel Corporation was founded by Bob Noyce and Gordon Moore: two former engineers of Fairchild Semiconductor Company in July 18th, 1968. At the end of 1968 company has 12 employees and revenue of $2,672.
