Name history 

Intel

Bob Noyce and Gordon Moore are the founders of

Intel. Initially they wanted to name it as “Moore

Noyce” Later they found that there was another

company with that name which ran a group of

hotels. Therefore, they decided to look for another

name. Then they were toying with the name ‘More

Noise’. They thought, for a semiconductor company

this name could be a wrong name. Then for the

first year they used ‘NM Electronics’ as their

company name. Finally, Intel got its name as a

short form of Integrated Electronics.
