Moves like these have kept Intel atop the world's fastest-changing industry. Thanks to the popularity of its succeeding generations of chips, from the 386 to the 486 to the Pentium, no other chipmaker has as much influence over how personal computers process information. The company employs 1,000 chip designers, and spent $1.8 billion in R. and D. last year just to keep up with the latest technological advances...
