Global Business this week hears from the retiring Chairman of Intel, Craig Barrett
The company, based in Silicon Valley, California, designs and manufactures its branded processor chips.
Chips do the work inside millions of desk-top, laptop and other computers.
In the programme Craig Barrett addresses the recent news that Intel has been fined over one billion Euros by the European Union.
It was charged with for breaking EU rules by pressuring its business customers to marginalise its main competitor AMD.
Barrett joined Intel in 1974. He says the computer industry reinvents itself every ten years.
As Chief Operating Officer he’s renowned as the man who saved the company, revolutionising silicon chip manufacture and getting more of them from wafers of silicon. He was also responsible for the uniformity of the Intel plants and offices around the world.
When he joined Intel, he says, the company was doing 50 million dollars worth of business every year – it now does that every twelve hours.
And having been through something like ten recessions he feels Intel’s future is safe.
