Intel

Intel would be the fifth largest manufacturing company in this list. Intel Corporation (abbreviated Intel) is a multinational corporation and technology company based in Santa Clara, California. It is one of the world's leading semiconductor chip manufacturers in terms of sales, and it is one of the creators of the x86 family of instruction sets utilized in the majority of personal computers (PCs). Intel, headquartered in Delaware, was placed No. 45 on the 2020 Fortune 500 list of the largest US firms by total revenue for nearly a decade, from 2007 to 2016.

Microprocessors are supplied by Intel to computer system makers such as Acer, Lenovo, HP, and Dell. Intel also produces motherboard chipsets, network interface controllers and integrated circuits, flash memory, graphics chips, embedded CPUs, and other communications and computing-related technologies. Although Intel invented the world's first commercial microprocessor chip in 1971, it wasn't until the success of the personal computer (PC) that this became the company's primary focus.

When it comes to microprocessors and motherboards, Intel Corporation reigns supreme. Although there are other competitors in the market, none have managed to overtake Intel's massive market share. The Intel pentium series was the series that cemented Intel's dominance in the microprocessor business. This was due to the superior performance of the pentium series at the time. Intel Corporation has succeeded to penetrate the market considerably better than any other firm, thanks to its large distribution system and branding and marketing efforts.
