Summary: The Birth Of A Processor Manifests The End Of The USSR
Review: Very nice book about the US semiconductor industry. It gives us a rare look into the world of corporate America. Very interesting, well-written, and non-technical. Anyone with an interest in the entrepreneurship and computer industry would enjoy this book. This book provides many interesting and some uninteresting details about Intel's history. This book can give an authentic taste both of the history of ingenuity and energy inside Intel. Mr. Jackson did a wonderful job! But there's a little too much on Intel's battles with AMD and not enough on its unique relationship with Microsoft. May be you never believe it, that such a small silicon thing as Intel's microprocessor was a one of the main media to manifest the impotence of the communist regime in the USSR. In fact, I'm sure this technology turned out more dangerous for the Soviet Union than Reagan's Star Wars.

Summary: The sharp edge of the business
Review: What an interesting book. Provides good history of the processor business and lots of real life examples of just how paranoid Intel is. It's exciting to think of building such a powerful company but some of the tactics described are beyond belief.

Summary: A must for anyone who wants to know how Intel operates
Review: Wlthough I found it difficult at first to keep up with the constant introdution on names, I enjoyed the insight the book gives on how Intel was born and what the mood is like inside the company. I real must for anyone who wants to know more about the chip gaint and it's competitors, namely AMD wich is depicted along the book
