world’s second largest PC chipmaker with a market share of just 17%, far behind Intel Corp. with 81% of the market (Buckman and Williams 2001, 1). However, in 2000 AMD’s sales jumped 63% to $4.6 billion, producing $983 million in net income and its first profitable year since 1995 (Streetwalker 2001, 1). AMD owns engineering, manufacturing, warehousing and administrative facilities where it produces not only PC chips but also microprocessors, memory circuits, logic circuits, flash memory devices

microprocessor, the CPU is the Central Processing Unit of the computer. The CPU handles all instructions it receives from hardware and software running on the computer. The CPU chip is usually in the shape of a square or rectangle and has one notched corner to help place the chip properly into the CPU socket. On the bottom of the chip are hundreds of connector pins that plug into each of the corresponding holes in the socket. Today, with slot processors that were much larger and slid into a slot on the

Summary: Intel Case Study January 30, 2011 This case chronicles the rise of Intel Corporation from a small entrepreneurship to a multibillion dollar enterprise that has been a household name in the technology industry. The company started, and was very successful, at creating memory for technology but then in 1984 was forced to change it strategy to microprocessors due to a shift in market share. This, as it turns out, was one of the best decisions made by the leaders of the Intel Corporation

Intel case: Takeaways Question 1 • To capitalize on the first mover advantage by creating semiconductor memory chips that were sound in product design and technology. They were risk takers and strong believers in the product they design. • Semiconductor manufacturing is a complex process and involves huge investment in technology and equipment, which caused the production yields, a main driver of the manufacturing cost would fall initially with new processes. Yields would later improve with process

about sixty-one parts per million. When Intel discovered the flaw, their solution was to keep the information within the company. They did not want to disclose any of the information to the public, because of the negative publicity it would bring to the company. The flaw did not affect all microprocessors, only a very small number of customers. I feel that Intel should have openly acknowledged the problem despite the small number of customers affected. Intel determined if customers were affected

Project Overview In this project, I will assume AMD as a private company and determine a price I would like to pay for acquiring AMD on control basis. My report starts with an introductory analysis of the company and industry, focus on three methods I used to evaluate AMD and all related assumptions to support these methods. After all, I’ll conclude a price I would like to pay to acquire and control AMD on Mar-31-2013. Please read it of more. This is Gong Chen’s final project of Valuation Model

1971 – The 4004, the first 4-bit microprocessor, is introduced by Intel. It boasts 2,000 transistors with a clock speed of up to 1 MHz. 1976 – The Apple I is built. 1978 – Intel introduces a 16-bit processor, the 8086, and the 8088. 1984 – The first computer with the 80286 chip – the IBM AT – is sold. It is a 6 MHz machine with a 20 MB hard drive and a high-density 1.2 MB floppy disk drive. 1987 – MS-DOS 3.3 allows operation of 1.44 MB 3.5 inch disk drives and hard drives larger than
