The company that turned computers, music players and phones into mass-market consumer products — pairing tightly integrated hardware and software with design treated as a core engineering discipline.

The semiconductor company that put the microprocessor into the world and set the pace of computing for decades through the x86 architecture.

Founded 1993

The graphics-chip company whose GPUs became the engine of modern AI — from gaming to CUDA to the data-centre accelerators that train the world's largest models.

Founded 2015

The AI lab behind GPT and ChatGPT — it turned large language models from a research curiosity into a technology hundreds of millions of people use, and set off the generative-AI boom.

Founded 1982

The workstation and server pioneer whose slogan "The network is the computer" anticipated the cloud, and whose creation of Java reshaped software.
