Intel History

History of Intel Processor 

     In 1965, Intel co-founder Gordon Moore predicted that the number of transistors on a chip would double about every two years. Since then Moore's law has fueled a technology revolution as Intel has exponentially increased the number of transistors integrated into it processor for greater performance and energy efficiency.

  Intel processors :

1.Intel 4004   

  The groundbreaking Intel 4004  processor was introduced with the same computing power as ENIAC.

 Year: 1971

 Initial clock speed: 108 KHZ.
