Intel Corporation (NASDAQ: INTC) is headquartered in Santa Clara, California, USA. Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore, the founders of Intel, originally hoped that the name of their new company would be Moore Noyce, a combination of two names. However, when they went to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to register, they found that this name had been preemptively registered by a chain hotel. As a last resort, they adopted the abbreviation of "Integrated Electronics" as the company name. The current senior management is Craig Barrett, Chairman, and Paul Otellini, President and CEO.
