Moore.

chipsets
◦ Digital Home Group -components for consumer electronics
devices such as digital TVs, high-definition media players,
and set-top boxes.

The consumers were unaware of the new
features provided by new 386 processors.
The thought that the older 286 processors
was capable of doing everything they wanted.
Carter and his team used billboard
advertising and splashed a big „X‟ over the
old 286, and had the 386 alongside in
Denver.
This evidently changed consumers buying
plans and soon the campaign was extended
to other US cities.
Intel believed people needed to know more
about the processor and the company behind it.
The heart of the program was an incentive-based
cooperative advertising program.
Adding the Intel logo not only made the OEM's
advertising dollar stretch farther, but it also
conveyed an assurance that their systems were
powered by the latest technology.
The Intel brand is one of the top ten known-
brands in the world, in a class with Coke, Disney
and McDonalds, according to various rankings.
Company had made some organizational
change to better align the product roadmap
to the marketing roadmap.
Marketing teams worked more closely with
the technology teams.
The ads of Pentium 4 by the Blue Man Group:
“The center of your digital world”, focused
less on the technical features.
It argued:”Intel is very innovative in
developing new products; we need to be just
as innovative in marketing ”.
„Intel Inside‟ was used to persuade consumers and
businesses that the processor inside a computer was
more important than the brand name on the outside.
Now they had achieved awareness, it's over and they
need to move on.
Intel came up with „Leap Ahead‟ in 2005, making
consumers think about the technology not buy me
because „I'm inside‟, but buy me because I'm doing
something unique.
It also changed the logo first time in 38 years
Launched in 2009, and was the largest marketing campaign
in 3 years and its first promoting the company and not a
product.
Themes like "Your rock stars aren't like our rock stars." and
"Our big ideas aren't like your big ideas.“
The goal is to promote Intel as a "move-society-forward-by-
quantum-leaps company" rather than just a microprocessor
company.
"I think, over the last 10 years at least, it's been cool to be a geek” according to David
Dickstein, an Intel spokesman. "We're geeks here, and we're damn proud of it."
Intel has a new plan for growth: getting in
good with young, hip adults.
Intel in 2010, launched Creator's Project--a
multi-year, international marketing program
designed to showcase technology-influenced
art, film and music.
Intel‟s growth was the highest in last 42
years, and to sustain it, it wants to win over
consumers, particularly artsy 19- to 24-year-
olds who tend to be trend setters in their
communities.

The downturn, saw a switch in pushing
growth from business customers to the
average consumer.
For Young adults, a computer is an
indispensable part of their lives.
“The more we get into social media, the more
we see the power of this group.”

Facebook app lets Intel PCs donate processor power:
The Facebook application allows the spare processing power
in a PC to be used to fight diseases and study climate change.
Competitors
◦ Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD)
◦ International Business Machines Corporation (IBM),
◦ Sony Corporation
◦ Toshiba Corporation

Thus AMD had an added advantage of
performance per Dollar spent after the processor.

Japan
Ordered Intel to eliminate discounts that had
discriminated against AMD. To avoid a trial, Intel
agreed to comply with the order.
European Union
In July 2007, the European Commission accused Intel
of anti-competitive practices, like include giving
preferential prices to computer makers buying most
or all of their chips from Intel, paying computer
makers to delay or cancel the launch of products
using AMD chips, and providing chips at below
standard cost to governments and educational
institutions.
South Korea
In September 2007, South Korean regulators accused Intel of
breaking antitrust law.
In June 2008, the Fair Trade Commission ordered Intel to pay a
fine of $25.5 million for taking advantage of its dominant
position to offer incentives to major Korean PC manufacturers on
the condition of not buying products from AMD.
United States
New York started an investigation of Intel in January 2008 on
whether the company violated antitrust laws in pricing and sales
of its microprocessors.
sued Intel, accusing them of bribery and coercion, claiming that
Intel bribed computer makers to buy more of their chips than
those of their rivals, and threatened to withdraw these payments
if the computer makers were perceived as working too closely
with its competitors.
