Short for "Intelligence".

*A corporation that developed computer processors bearing its name, known for being very powerful, yet overpriced.
*Short for "intelligence", often government-related intelligence-gathering, often from the CIA, NSA, FBI.

"My most favorite Intel commercials are : the very first one, and the one with the Simpsons."
"Intel shows that the building is jam-packed with heavily-armed terrorists."
"Goodie."

Short for pseudo-intellectuals. People who think they know more than they do. You can often find them reading the abstracts of scientific studies.

A CPU and motherboard manufacturer focussed mainly on tech rather than high clock speeds. While their processors are stronger than AMD processors, they are also quite a bit more pricey. If money's not a problem, then Intel is the way to go. I also recommend getting an aftermarket cooler as their stock fans aren't very good.
Man 1: I just got an Intel i7 920!!! I'm gonna tear through all my games and work!
Man 2: You realized you just spent about $300 on a quad-core when you could've gotten an AMD Quad-core CPU for like $100-$180?

Who gives about micro-electronics when the first tv ad this company made had a bus load of guys in pastel colored NBAC suits who'd leap out and start doing bad dance moves any where, any time, with no warning?
That's some shit to live up to, AMD.

Hyperthreading 64 bit OS compatible on die first level cache in a super special heat transferring package still doesn't mean much when it's running Windows, m'lad.

Really overpriced and overhyped processor.
You can say a 2.2 Ghz AMD Athlon XP processor is the equivalent to a 3.2 GHz Intel pentium 4 fanboy and he'd say "HAHAHA no you noob, 3.2 is a greater number than 2.2"
Intel processors run at 6 calculations per cycle
Amd athlon XPs run at 10 calculations per cycle
Amd ahtlon 64s run at 12 calculations per cycle
Intel processors have a horrible front side bus with degrades the quality of the processor.

Intel processors are stupid. Anyone who says otherwise obviously doesn't know anything and has seen a bunch of Intel/Dell commercials.
