Man Who Defied and Escaped Nazi Rule to Lead Intel Dies at 79
 | Andy Grove was the Silicon Valley elder statesman who made Intel into the world's top chipmaker and helped usher in the personal computer age. He died on Tuesday at age 79. Intel did not describe the circumstances of his death but Grove had suffered from Parkinson's disease. Grove endured the Nazi occupation of Hungary during World War Two, lived under a fake name, and came to the United States to escape the chaos of Soviet rule. Grove was Intel's first hire after it was founded in 1968. Today, "Intel Inside" processors are used in more than 80 percent of the world's personal computers. |
