I don't have any of our company history info nearby, but I think it stands for "INTegrated ELectronics" (thus the dropped "e"). I don't think it stands for that, but that is WHY the name came to be. These days, INTEL stands for INTEL, a company name made up some 20+ years ago. Tim Forsyth (speaking for myself, not Intel) OEM MicroComputer Platforms Division, Intel Corp., Hillsboro, OR.
