This book presents the definitive history of Intel Corporation, a cornerstone of the digital age, through the lives of its three key figures: Robert Noyce, Gordon Moore, and Andy Grove. Celebrated as one of the most important companies globally, Intel has remained a defining force in the digital economy for over four decades. As the inventor of the microprocessor, Intel produces the small "engines" that power nearly every intelligent electronic device today. The narrative focuses on the human aspect of Intel's success, examining the strengths and weaknesses each leader contributed. Noyce provided credibility and funding at the company's inception, Moore positioned Intel as a technological leader, and Grove pushed for relentless improvement and competitiveness. The synergy among these three was crucial for Intel's historic achievements, including the personal computer and the Internet revolution. Drawing on unprecedented access to corporate archives, the book uncovers the compelling stories behind Intel's products and its innovative business practices, such as embracing new ideas and making bold investments during lean times. It also addresses the significant challenges Intel faces in maintaining its dominance, culture, and legacy in the ever-evolving tech landscape.
