Intel Drivers

Business profile of Intel Corporation.

Founded in 1968, Intel Corporation is the largest semiconductor company in the world. Based in Santa Clara, California, the company is also the inventor of the popular x86 line of processors, which are the microprocessors found in most of today’s personal computers. The company’s product line encompasses a range of solutions that help power the home and IT sectors. Intel manufactures and sells embedded processors, motherboard chipsets, integrated circuits, graphic chips and other hardware related to the computing and communications markets. Intel chips are widely known for having an advanced design and industry leading capabilities.

Intel was originally established as Integrated Electronics Corporation by Gordon Moore and Robert Novice, two pioneers in the semiconductor industry. However, Andrew Grove receives much of the credit for the company’s success through executive leadership and vision. The company started out as one of the first developers of DRAM and SRAM memory chips, which was its main focus in the early 1980s. While Intel introduced the world to the first commercial microprocessor chip in the early 1970s, it wasn’t until the emergence of the PC that it became the company’s primary business. In the 1990s, Intel made a commitment to focus on new processor designs to cater to the fast growing PC market. Around this time, Intel processors became synonymous with the personal computer, thanks to the aggressive “Intel Inside” marketing campaign that essentially made it a household name.

Although the 2000s marked the end of the company’s dominance, Intel processors remain prevalent on today’s PC market. In fact, it was ranked in 2007 as one of the world’s most powerful brands by Millward Brown Optimor. Intel celebrated its 40th birthday in 2008 and has recently announced plans to launch more innovative PC products in the very new future. From the looks of it, Intel will continue to play an integral role in modern computing.

IBM Drivers

Business profile of International Business Machines Corporation (IBM).

International Business Machines Corporation, most commonly known as IBM, is a leading multinational computer technology and IT consulting company. Headquartered in Armonk, New York, it is one of the rare Information Technology companies with a history that starts in the 19th century. Perhaps best known for its line of IBM computers, the company also manufactures and sells a wide range of computer hardware and software applications, as well as managed infrastructure and hosting services. IBM is widely known as the world’s largest and most profitable IT employer with more than 388,000 employees across the globe.

IBM was originally established in 1896 as the Tabulating Machine Company. It was incorporated in 1911 and listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 1916. The company’s history actually predates that of the electronic computer, as it started off specializing in punch card data processing equipment.

Experiencing considerable growth from 1925-1949, IBM really received its big break following World War II, a time that marked the emergence of business computing. It became the premier contracted developer of the U.S. Air Force’s automated defense computer systems and played a significant role in the development of the world’s first real-time digital computer. IBM was right there when the PC and software markets emerged in the 1980s, forming profitable relationships with both Microsoft and Intel. It was around this time that IBM mainframe computers and home-based systems became prevalent. Although it experienced tough times during the 1990s, the company made a revival and bounced back completely for the new millennium.

IBM has been a pioneer in the IT field for over a century and continues to stand at the forefront of the global industry that has revolutionized how consumers and enterprises operate. From IBM mainframes to innovative software products, this company is rightfully recognized as one of the most successful entities in the history of technology.

Hercules Drivers

Business profile of Hercules Computer Technology.

Originally established in 1982, Hercules Computer Technology was a leading graphics card company in the 1980s. While the company also produced CGA compatible cards, its most popular product was the Hercules Graphics Card, a MDA-compatible card that was frequently imitated by many other competitors. The popularity of this card helped the company survive into the 1990s. In attempt to compete with EGA, Hercules launched the Hercules InColor Card, which failed miserably in terms of sales.

Hercules started to decline throughout the 1990s as companies including ATI Technologies emerged. Product sales dipped to $20 million in 1998, the same year the company was purchased by ELSA for $8.5 million. Though it enjoyed the benefit of Hercules’ intellectual properties and product lines, ELSA also became responsible for all the debt Hercules owed, inevitably sending them into a Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The Hercules brand was acquired by Guillemot Corporation the following year for $1.5 million. It quickly became the premiere brand for Guillemot’s NVIDIA-based graphics cards.

The Hercules brand remains prevalent today and represents a diverse range of products. The portfolio now consists of sound cards, speaker systems, digital DJ devices, wireless solutions and accessories for the Apple iPod and iTunes media application. Hercules web cams are among the latest products. Its Dualpix Exchange has largely contributed to explosion of web cam sales throughout Europe. This product has been highly praised by the European press and won numerous awards for features such as 2-megapixel video resolution and high-speed USB 2.0 Video Class compliance. The integrated custom designed software makes this webcam just as easy to use as the typical digital camera.

While the company itself no longer exists, the Hercules brand is alive and well. Guillemot promises to continuously launch products that put the customer first by placing a strong emphasis on quality and performance.
