and how it is effecting us till this day. In June 1994, while Intel was working on the microprocessor, and they found out there was unit flaw in the Pentium processor. Later on that month, when they were adding the Pentium system to the group of computers, they were unable to determine the other factors as in program errors and motherboard chipsets until October 19 of that year. Three days later he told Intel about the flaw. But Intel was aware of the flaw since May of that year, Professor Thomas

Term Paper: History of Intel and its microprocessors The microprocessor is a chip made of silicon that holds a central processing unit. Both the term’s central processing unit or CPU and microprocessor can be used and mean the same thing. The human brain has been compared to a microprocessor. Microprocessors are ultra fast calculators and what makes a microprocessor appear intelligent is the speed at which it can process data. The electronics industry names, microprocessors first by makers name

the ever-changing industry they are part of. Intel Corporation is one of these companies. Intel was “founded in 1968 to build semiconductor memory, while in 1971 produced the first microprocessor” (Intel Corporation, 2005). Being that Intel needs to keep up with the constant change of microprocessors, motherboards, and other computer and communication products, they need to have a management team that adapts to this fast-paced environment. For Intel Corporation, the three factors that influence

Introduction to Microprocessor A microprocessor is a single chip integrating all the functions of a central processing unit (CPU) of a computer. It includes all the logical functions, data storage, timing functions and interaction with other peripheral devices. In some cases, the terms 'CPU' and 'microprocessor' are used interchangeably to denote the same device. Like every genuine engineering marvel, the microprocessor too has evolved through a series of improvements throughout the 20th century
