Intel designs and manufactures processors, including Core chips for PCs and Xeon chips for servers, based on the x86 architecture it created. Unlike most chip designers, it builds most of its own chips in its own factories.
Through Intel Foundry it also makes chips for other companies, and it is building new factories in the United States around its most advanced 18A manufacturing process.
Gordon Moore and Robert Noyce founded Intel in 1968. Lip-Bu Tan became CEO in 2025, the same year the US government, Nvidia and SoftBank all took stakes in the company.

All notesBy the numbers
The portfolio spans 57 years of company founding
Intel, the oldest company on this list, was founded in 1968. Flyweel, a Brisbane ad-spend fintech, was founded in 2025. That's a 57-year gap between the oldest and newest holdings, sitting inside a portfolio of roughly 36 private companies and 28 public ones. The spread runs from half-century-old chipmakers to startups barely a year old.

Intel pulls ahead of TSMC on ASML's priciest lithography tool
ASML is the only maker of the EUV machines both Intel and TSMC need for their most advanced chips, and the two customers are now moving at very different speeds. Intel and ASML have processed more than one million wafers using High NA EUV, including production layers for Intel's Panther Lake chips. TSMC won't deploy the same tool until 2030, a four year gap that hands Intel rare bragging rights in a foundry race it has mostly been losing.

81396 - Intel@intel · 7 OctOn October 6, 1986, Intel expanded its commitment to the ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) market, building custom-designed chips built to meet the specific needs of a particular application.
As we mark this 40-year milestone, we celebrate the employees whose vision, ingenuity, and determination helped shape this important chapter in Intel's history.
From the pioneers who launched Intel's ASIC efforts to those who continued building on that foundation, thank you for your contributions and lasting impact.
