Intel Corp (INTC)

[mas]

Jerry badmouthed Intel primarily because of their business practices not because of any jealousy and contrary to both your rather feeble attempts at character assassination Sanders and Noyce were very very good friends.

"And a week later I was at Intel talking to Bob Noyce. A week later I was at Intel talking to Bob Noyce. And I said, “Do you know what Regis just told me? Regis just said he thinks Jerry Sanders is the smartest man in Silicon Valley.” And Bob Noyce said, “I think Regis is right.”
Jerry Sanders: Well Bob Noyce is dead so we can’t prove that. Regis is a PR guy, so.
Mike Malone: And I’m a journalist.
Jerry Sanders: And he’s a journalist so there you are. But I would say this. One of the highlights of my young life was when Bob Noyce was an investor in AMD. And he invested primarily because he said he believed in me. I mean, after
he’d already committed to make the investment when I told him I was going to be in the integrated circuit business, he said you mean you’re going to make them, you’re not just going to be a distributor or sell them? He said wow.
But anyway, he honored his deal. He made the investment. And I always had great respect for him. He unfortunately died the day I got married. And it was a very sad morning. I didn’t tell my bride to be because I knew it would upset
her too. But it was a very special day, you know, June 3, 1990. And he was a great guy. And he made tremendous contributions to our industry. And I always tell everybody Bob Noyce invented the integrated circuit even though he shares that with Jack Kilby. Jack Kilby invented discreet chips
wired together. Bob Noyce invented the monolithic structure which is the basis for the mass production which has made the microchip industry possible.
And he’s just – was an extraordinary guy. And if he thought I was at least above average, that’s high praise. Thank you very much.
