The company's first products were random-access memory integrated circuits, and Intel grew to be a leader in the fiercely competitive DRAM, SRAM, and ROM markets throughout the 1970s. Concurrently, Intel engineers Marcian Hoff, Federico Faggin, Stanley Mazor and Masatoshi Shima invented the first microprocessor. Originally developed for the Japanese company Busicom to replace a number of ASICs in a calculator already produced by Busicom, the Intel 4004 was introduced to the mass market on November 15, 1971, though the microprocessor did not become the core of Intel's business until the mid-1980s. (Note: Intel is usually given credit with Texas Instruments for the almost-simultaneous invention of the microprocessor.)

intel is a brain dead architecture,
if there marketing policies and their approach of reaching to desktop would not have worked. they would have biting the dust.
ARM, MIPS and PPC are any given day better architecture than intel, but then they never tried to penetrate that much. poor fellas.
anyway intel is everywhere, a necessary evil.
