semiconductor product. Intel’s strategy was to come up with revolutionary product design and to be first to market with innovative devices. This strategy required enormous investments in process technology and manufacturing equipment. Between 1974-1984‚ Intel started losing market share to Japanese competition. This lost in market share can be attributed to several reasons. The first would be the fact that patents were not easily enforceable for DRAMS. Additionally the Japanese competitors have invested

About Intel Corporation: Intel Corporation is the biggest semiconductor and manufacturer in the world and changes the global marketplace radically. The Intel Corporation was founded and incorporated by Moore and Robert Noyce on 1968. The first PC (personal computer) were developed though the innovation of Intel Microprocessors. Being the pioneer of the microprocessor market had its advantages. The microprocessor market was a relatively new one‚ and barriers to market entry helped Intel become a

201147507 Chinthaka Uduwage Intel Corp. 1968-2003 • How would you explain Intel’s initial dominance and subsequent decline in DRAMS? Intel was successful at the beginning because of their “Goldlocks strategy”‚ which they focused on mass production and something that competitors cannot copy easily. Because of this approach Intel was able to produce 1103‚ world’s first 1 kilobit DRAM. The 1103 was more cost effective to build‚ smaller and better in performance. The 1103 DRAM was able to replace

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

Intel in the DRAM business Intel‘s first two products were introduced in 1969: two semiconductors‚ but neither product was a commercial success. These two semiconductors were called SRAM - the 3101 (a 64-bit bipolar static random access memory‚ or SRAM and the 1101 (a 256-bit MOS - metal oxide semiconductor - SRAM In 1971 Intel introduced a new semiconcuctor‚ (the 1103‚ a 1-kilobite DRAM (dynamic random access memory) chip which became in the following year the world‘s best sellig semiconductor

Some of Intel’s sources of competitive advantages in DRAM were that they were able to make a smaller product‚ they were able to create a complex product that helped deal with the imitation issue and they were able to a more cost effective product. Intel’s sources of competitive advantages for microprocessors on the other hand were
