Intel releases the first quad-core CPU.
Intel releases its first x86-64 bit processor "Xeon (Nocona)."
Intel creates "Intel 8008", the first 8-bit processor (0.2 MHz to 0.8 MHz).
Intel's "Intel Inside" marketing campaign is successful and "Intel" becomes a household name. As a result, they become the largest semiconductor supplier in the world.
IBM-PC is released and becomes an industry standard. All IBM-PCs and IBM-PC clones use Intel CPUs, especially the Intel 8088 micro processor, causing Intel to dominate the market.
Intel Founded by Gordon E. Moore (Moore's Law guy), Robert Noyce (co-inventor of the integrated circuit), Arthur Rock, and Max Palevsky.
Intel releases the first of the Pentium line, the P5 (60-66 MHz). Part of the 5th processor generation. It is over 300 times faster than the Intel 8088 processor, with over 3 million transistors
Intel creates first commercial microprocessor, the "Intel 4004" (4-bit processor, 740 kHz).
Intel introduces Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EPROM) technology at the ISSCC conference
Intel releases first product, "3101 Schottky TTL bipolar 64-bit static random-access memory".
Intel introduces to the world the first metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) static RAM, the 1101
Fortune Magazine names Intel as the 46th best company to work for on the "100 Best Companies to Work For" list.
Arthur Rock, a venture capitalist, contributes $10, 000 and manages to raise another $2.5 million for Intel.

AMD founded by group of executives from Fairchild Semiconductor. Jerry Sanders, Edwin Turney, John Carey, Sven Simonsen, Jack Gifford and three members from Gifford's team, Frank Botte, Jim Giles, and Larry Stenger.
AMD releases the "AMD Am9080", a reverse engineered Intel "8080" (2 MHz).
AMD signs an agreement to become a second source to Intel for IBM PC microprocessors.
AMD releases its first CPU not reverse engineered from Intel, the "K5" (75-100 MHz). Part of the 5th processor generation, AMD's answer to Intel's Pentium.
AMD acquires NexGen, a microprocessor company
AMD releases its first AMD Athlon™ x64 bit processor backwards compatible with x86 (x86-64). Allows more memory to be used.
AMD introduces AMD Opteron™ processor.
AMD acquires National Semiconductor's x86 business and forms a strategic alliance with Sun Microsystems.
AMD wins the race to 1GHz clock speed. Its Athlon CPU (1GHz) ships two days before Intel's Pentium III (1GHz).
AMD releases AMD PowerNow!™ technology with Mobile AMD-K6®-2+ processors.
