Intel started out looking at just changing the way memories were done in computers. But what really made it revolutionary was the microprocessor.

The microprocessor was kind of a lucky break. We were working on making calculator chips for a Japanese company. They wanted us to make several complex custom chips, which was more than our engineering group could handle. One of our engineers saw that we could do all of these calculators with a general purpose computer architecture and it wouldn’t be much more complex than the memories we were making.

That was really the breakthrough insight that got us going on the microprocessor.

Suddenly, computers weren’t those things stuck in glass rooms that you looked at and that were attended to by some kind of ‘priest’.

One of the things that the original business plan said was that eventually there would be more personal computers in homes than telephones. Today, I think the average number of PCs in a home is about 3 (if you count iPhones and Blackberrys as PCs, and I do). When we started the company, no one had ever heard about a personal computer before. The Apple dream was to bring the power of computing to everyday people.

We wanted to make great stuff that we wanted to use – that was the test. If we wanted it, then others would want it. It was a challenge and it was fun.
