The Intel Trinity: How Robert Noyce, Gordon Moore, and Andy Grove Built the World's Most Important Company

The Intel Trinity is the first comprehensive history of Intel Corporation, based on unprecedented access to the company's archives. It traces Intel's development through the lives of three key figures: Robert Noyce, Gordon Moore, and Andy Grove. Intel, founded over four decades ago, remains central to the global digital economy. The company invented the microprocessor and manufactures the processors that power most intelligent electronic devices worldwide. However, the true story of Intel is one of human achievement. Noyce brought credibility and funding to the company's founding; Moore established Intel as a technological leader; and Grove drove the company toward sustained success and competitiveness. Each contributed differently at different times, and without any one of them, Intel would not have achieved its historic success. Intel's innovations made possible the personal computer, Internet, telecommunications, and personal electronics revolutions. This book examines both Intel's legendary history and the significant challenges ahead as the company works to maintain its dominance, culture, and legacy. The book includes eight pages of black-and-white photographs.
