Intel Intel also manufactures motherboard chipsets, network interface controllers and integrated circuits, flash memory, graphics chips, embedded processors and other devices related to communications and computing. Intel Corporation was founded on July 18, 1968, by semiconductor pioneers Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore (of Moore's law), and widely associated with the executive leadership and vision of Andrew Grove. The company's name was conceived as portmanteau of the words "int"egrated and "el"ectronics, with co-founder Noyce having been a key inventor of the integrated circuit (microchip). The fact that "intel" is the term for intelligence information also made the name appropriate. Intel was an
Doubling time in five years, and an Egyptian proverb of the time was "If wealth is placed where it bears interest, it comes back to you redoubled." Examining the doubling time can give a more intuitive sense of the long-term impact of growth than simply viewing the percentage growth rate For a constant growth rate of "r%", the formula for the doubling time "T" is given by Some doubling times calculated with this formula are shown in this table. Simple doubling time formula: For example, with an annual growth rate of 4.8% the doubling time is 14.78 years, and a doubling time
