(Unintended tech nursery)

Upon reflection, i feel obliged to clarify that it is i, and not theeditor who earlier created the following AMD section, who has subordinated AMD to the immediately enclosing retrofitted section-heading.

AMD

I think the connection with Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) should also be mentioned. The founders worked for Fairchild Semiconductor before they founded AMD. --MrBurns (talk) 05:41, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

Intel

   I have occasionally described myself as the last Fairchild Semiconductor Fellow at UC Berkeley, believing that the loss of not only Moore and Noyce, but also of Andrew Grove (whom we seem to have so far not included, here, among the pioneers), had put that subsidiary of Fairchild Camera and Instrument out of business. (Rrather than, apparently, having turned it into an also-ran? ... I guess, among my other career errors, i didn't pay enuf attention to the business end of the technology business.)
   BTW, my reading shows that those three eventual successive heads (in each case until retiring) of Intel Corporation were ("technically" if you will) only the 1st, 2nd, and fourth of Intel's employees, and not actually not the 1st 3, as i and i think many others had believed >--Jerzy•t 12:11, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
