Intel supplies [[List of Intel processors|microprocessors]] for most manufacturers of computer systems, and is one of the developers of the [[x86]] series of instruction sets found in most [[personal computer]]s (PCs). It also manufactures [[chipset]]s, [[network interface controller]]s, [[flash memory]], [[List of Intel graphics processing units|graphics processing units]] (GPUs), [[field-programmable gate array]]s (FPGAs), and other devices related to communications and computing. Intel has a strong presence in the high-performance general-purpose and [[Gaming computer|gaming PC]] market with its [[Intel Core]] line of CPUs, whose high-end models are among the fastest consumer CPUs, as well as its [[Intel Arc]] series of GPUs.

Intel was founded on July 18, 1968, by semiconductor pioneers [[Gordon Moore]] and [[Robert Noyce]], along with investor [[Arthur Rock]], and is associated with the executive leadership and vision of [[Andrew Grove]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Intel Corp $2,500,000 Convertible Debentures |publisher=Stanford Law School |date=2020 |url=https://law.stanford.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Intel-Convertible-Note-220920.pdf |access-date=June 3, 2023 |archive-date=June 3, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230603094214/https://law.stanford.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Intel-Convertible-Note-220920.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref> The company was a key component of the rise of [[Silicon Valley]] as a [[High tech|high-tech]] center,<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=V.
