COMMUNICATIONS 17-1 MARKETING SPOTLIGHT INTEL Intel makes the microprocessors that are found in 80 percent of the world’s personal computers. In the early days‚ Intel microprocessors were known simply by their engineering numbers‚ such as “80386” or “80486.” Intel positioned its chips as the most advanced. The trouble was‚ as Intel soon learned‚ numbers can’t be trademarked. Competitors came out with their own “486” chips‚ and Intel had no way to distinguish itself from the competition
