The Intel Trinity

How Robert Noyce, Gordon Moore, and Andy Grove Built the World's Most Important Company

Michael S. Malone 2014 BvtnLib 338.7621 MAL


Some interesting factoids. Some may be incorrect. I may add a few notes later, but I would prefer to do so from a revised edition with less redundancy, more explanation, and citing more sources (many of this book's references are Malone's other books, not primary sources, NOT useful).

I enjoyed Leslie Berlin's excellent The Man Behind the Microchip, and Grove's autobiography and management books.

I want to know more about Gordon Moore ("Trinity" was aggravatingly sparse) so ordered a used copy of Moore's Law: the Life of Gordon Moore by Thackray, 2015 through Alibris.
