"Max Palevski is a pioneer of computer technology and the founder of computer giant Intel ..." (c) The New York Times
The other day did not become a co-founder of one of the largest corporations of our time, whose contribution to the development of modern computing technologies is difficult not to appreciate.
Max was born on July 24, 1924 in Chicago, Illinois.
He served as a volunteer in the ranks of the American Army, graduated from mathematics courses at the University of Chicago, as well as Yale University.
3 years at the base of the US Air Force monitored radio-electronic equipment at military facilities of the United States in the southern part of the Pacific region.
Then he worked for 4 years at Packard Bell Computer, and in 1961 founded Scientific Data Systems, which produced computers and later sold for 1 billion. dollars.
The beginning of its main activity can be considered the year 1968, when Palevski invested part of his money in a small firm located in Santa Clara, California. It was Intel, taking its name from the words "integrated electronics". Already in 1971, Intel began to cooperate with Busicom and developed an Intel 4004 universal microprocessor. This was a very significant leap in the development of integrated circuits. This was followed by the famous Intel 8008 and in 1990, Intel has already become the largest manufacturer of home personal computers and maintains its current position to this day.
Also, Palevski’s support for various political figures, such as Tom Bradley, George McGovern, John McCain, is of great fame.

It should be noted as his contribution to the film industry. In 1973 he invested in the "Badlands" of Terrence Malick, "Islands in the Ocean" in 1977, "Fun with Dick and Jane" in 2005.
He married and got divorced 5 times.
In his declining years, Palevski was engaged in philanthropic activity, collecting modernist art.
On May 5, at the age of 85, Palevski died from cardiac arrest.
