The Intel microprocessor inside most of those PCs: up eight-fold (in logic gates) and five- to tenfold (in speed) since 1989.
Eventually the organisation of car manufacturing may begin to resemble production in the consumer-electronics industry, where the adoption of industry-wide standards (along with de facto standards, such as the Intel microprocessor) has enabled suppliers to become highly specialised.
For years, it has maintained links with Advanced Micro Devices as a foil against the dominance of Intel in microprocessor supply.
And neither Dell, HP nor Gateway allows owners to overclock the Intel or AMD microprocessor.
Few companies better capture that trend than Intel, a microprocessor giant.
Even Intel, the microprocessor company that institutionalized inside-the-box thinking, has knocked together PCs that look like pyramids and vacuum cleaners, design exercises to stimulate long-dormant creative juices.
Given that the mobile market is a very small value contributor to Intel and the microprocessor giant is finding it difficult to gain share, should AMD really divert some of its resources to pursue this crowded space?
Intel did this, according to the FTC, in a bid to force them to license microprocessor patents on Intel's terms.
Leading PC microprocessor manufacturer Intel announced its Q1 2013 earning on April 16.
It was the world's first publicly available microcomputer and ran on a microprocessor that Intel had invented in 1971.
Faggin is credited by some for having designed the first microprocessor at Intel in 1971, even though Intel officially gives that honor to Faggin's colleague.
In the early 1990s he saw a PBS program on the microprocessor and Intel and hit upon another notion: Why not design a microchip for drug release?
Advanced Micro Devices struggled last year under the shadow of its rival Intel in the PC microprocessor market and against Nvidia in the discrete GPU market.

Qualcomm, NVIDIA, AMD, and even ARM Holdings (which developed the architecture used by Apple in its iPhones and iPads), are a step ahead of Intel and its Atom microprocessor.
FORBES: Chip Recall Hurts Intel's Reputation, Tablet Fears A Bigger Problem
You know, it's been nearly forty years since Intel introduced the first microprocessor, and even at this late date the company comprises a whopping eighty percent of the global market for CPUs.
Most affected among desktop users are those whose PCs were purchased before 1992 and run an Intel 386 or previous microprocessor - those PCs will probably become unreliable at century's end, and owners may want to consider upgrading.
Intel has pushed its Atom microprocessor onto smaller units, taking control of the netbook market.
FORBES: Quiet Before the Storm: Intel and AMD Dominate the Chip Industry Ahead of Tablet Showdown
Intel, the kingpin in microprocessor chips, has also announced a series of milestones in silicon photonics.
Even at Intel in the 1970s, its microprocessor was a sideshow to its core business, memory chips.
Intel has been dominating the PC microprocessor market for the last two decades.
Intel's new Pentium 4 microprocessor sizzles at an average 110 watts, hot enough to whip up a batch of muffins--and slow a PC's advertised performance.
All three runners turned the trick in the 1960s, the last one in 1967 -- four years before Intel's invention of the microprocessor ushered in the Information Age as we know it.
This program is then fed into a second piece of software called a compiler, which translates it into a sequence of machine instructions for a specific kind of microprocessor, such as Intel's x86 family, which can then run the original program.
The highest-profile result was the release this yearof AMD's 1-gigahertz Athlon microprocessor, which competes against Intel's fastest Pentium.
