About
Intel
Today,
Intel supplies the computing and communications industries with chips,
boards and systems building blocks that are the ingredients
of computers, servers, and networking and communications products.
These products are used by industry members to create advanced computing
and communications systems. Intels mission is to be the pre-eminent
building block supplier to the worldwide Internet economy.
Principal products
Intel ® Architecture platform products > Microprocessors,
also called central processing units (CPUs) or chips, are frequently
described as the brains of a computer, because they control
the central processing of data in personal computers (PCs), servers,
workstations and other computers. Intel offers microprocessors optimized
for each segment of the computing market:
Intel ® Pentium ® III XeonTM processors for mid-range
to high-end servers and workstations
Intel ® Pentium ® 4 and Pentium ® III processors
for entry-level servers and workstations and performance desktop PCs
Intel ® Celeron TM processors for value PC systems
Mobile Pentium ® III processors for performance in mobile
PC systems
Chipsets perform essential logic functions surrounding the CPU in
computers, and support and extend the graphics, video and other capabilities
of many Intel processor-based systems.
Motherboards combine Intel microprocessors and chipsets to form the
basic subsystem of a PC or server.
e-Business solutions enable services and channel programs to accelerate
integration and deployment of Intel Architecture-based systems and
products.
Wireless communications and computing products > These products
are component-level hardware and software focusing on digital cellular
communications and other applications needing both low-power processing
and high performance. These products are used in mobile phones, handheld
devices, two-way pagers and many other products. For these markets,
Intel offers Intel ® Flash memory, application processors based
on the Intel ® StrongARM* processor core, and baseband chipsets
for cellular phones and other wireless devices.
Networking and communications products > Communications
building blocks for next-generation networks and Internet data centers
are offered at various levels of integration. These products are used
in communications servers, network appliances and computer telephony
integration equipment. Component-level building blocks include communications
silicon such as network processors and other board-level components,
software and embedded control chips. These products are integrated
in communications hardware such as hubs, routers, switches and servers
for local and wide area networking applications. Embedded control
chips are also used in laser printers, imaging, automotive systems
and other applications.
New business products > These products and services include
e-Commerce data center services as well as connected peripherals.
