How Intel became the second Microsoft

Article Abstract:

Intel has seen its market capitalization grow to more than that of Microsoft in 1996, though Microsoft later regained its position. The two companies have been allies, and Intel's microprocessor was used by IBM on its first personal computer which used a Microsoft operating system. Intel started out producing memory devices for big computers and then developed the first microprocessor in 1971. Intel's slogan 'Intel inside' has helped develop consumer awareness.

Article Abstract:

Intel has seen rising earnings and sales over a six year period but the company's share price has fallen. Problems with Pentium microprocessors led to a charge in 1994. Inventory write-downs have led to lower earnings per share than forecast and lower demand than expected has led to the company being left with parts that were dropping in value.
