INTEL

R. N. Noyce
Integrated circuit in 1959

Robert Moore 

Transistors would double every 2 years

Intel Core 17
3100 transistors 
Pentium
3.1 million transistors
Intel 4004 in 1971
Apple based its products on this chip with
16 bullion transistors. 

Andy Grove 

Fedrico Fraggin
Designed the chip with 2300 transistors.
He etched his initials FF on the chip.

Intel was losing on Memory chips.
Stopped making memory and changed to making Intel Microchps.

8008
8086
8088
Became 386, 486, 586, 686

In 1970s
Inel Inside Series 
80386 32 bits
80486
80586 = Pentium (I)
Can hold up to 4GB of Data Memory 



In 1990s
80686 64 bits
Pentium Pro
Pentium II and III
Can hold DATA in 16 exabytes (16.7 terabytes) 
Graphic Card bus handles the extra data.


So do not think of 128 and 256 computers unless you are a hard game addict or a cryptocurrency dealer.

Legally numbers cannot be used as tradarks and names have to be registered legally.

80786
Pentium 4 
Netburst
