DESCRIPTION:
Michael S. Without any one of these figures, Intel would never have achieved its historic success; with them, Intel made possible the personal computer, Internet, telecommunications, and the personal electronics revolutions.The Intel Trinity is not just the story of Intel’s legendary past; it also offers an analysis of the formidable challenges that lie ahead as the company struggles to maintain its dominance, its culture, and its legacy.With eight pages of black-and-white photos.. Malone reveals how each brought different things to Intel, and at different times. Noyce, the most respected high tech figure of his generation, brought credibility (and money) to the company’s founding; Moore made Intel the world’s technological leader; and Grove, has relentlessly driven the company to ev

Vice President) and had the honor of knowing Noyce, Moore and Grove. I found the book odd. It was very superficial about so many things and then would go in depth on other things. The section on Andy's early life was overly detailed while there was not enough about Gordon. Frankly, the book feels lazy to me. It felt like Malone just wrote up thing he could easily find.

Real title: the intel unity: Grove, the living-god NO The amount of real underlying information about Intel in this book is around what one can find in Wikipedia.I specially disliked the annoying overburden of adjectives (most, best, greatest, . constantly repeated), half the book's pages are straight adulation (and the same, again and again), it becomes frustrating to read, seems the author was paid only on the adulating phrases.The narration goes back and forth in time, so that you find a chapter talking about 1997, and then next back in 1990, confusing the reader on the dates, devices, and company situation.Th. Pretty damn good! S. Witten This is not the best book about Silicon Valley that Mike Malone has written. It is, however, a great read -- which is what you want from a good book! There have been criticisms in this column that the book is "Grove heavy" and "Moore light". That's certainly true.However, the context is that Gordon Moore was the Spirit -- ethereal and above it allthe giver of the Law.I enjoyed this book very much Having lived through most of the story but watching from afar from my desk at HP, I was keenly interested in the subject matter. It's not a book really about Intel th
The story revolves around the three men who founded and led Intel throughout its first four decades—Robert Noyce, Gordon Moore, and Andy Grove, whose canny leadership, impeccable timing, and masterful marketing skills turned a small company with a very unsure future into a global giant. From Booklist *Starred Review* The modern semiconductor industry grew out of a faction of dissenting employees of Fairchild Semiconductor often called the Traitorous Eight, who left to form Intel Inc. The time line is a familiar one to many technology buffs, but Malone moves past the standard Intel mythology to uncover many aspects of the company’s ascendance that have been glossed over or lost to history. Federico Faggin, an Italian American physicist who led the design group of the first commercial microprocessor, is profiled as one of the
