Intel is a manufacturer of semiconductor chips. They started off building DRAMs - their 1K-bit Intel 1103 was the first commerically successful DRAM chip - but they later transitioned to CPU chips. Their Intel 4004 was the first commercially available microprocessor, and the Intel 8086 was the founder of the Intel x86 line, the CPU chips used in the prevalent IBM-compatible PC personal computers.
