Andy Grove Has Died at 80

Andy Grove, who many consider one of the founders of Silicon Valley, has died. He was Intel's third employee and was at the heart of the company's decision to focus on processor chips rather than memory, a decision that led to the famous Intel Inside slogan as well as a significant jump in revenue for the company. While Grove was CEO from 1987 to 1998 Intel sales went from two billion to $13 billion. The Hungarian immigrants struggled with his health, battling both Parkinson's disease and prostate cancer. Upon hearing of his death, many took to social media offering condolences and remembrances, including Apple CEO Tim Cook, who said Andy Grove was one of the giants of the technology world. He loved our country and epitomized America at its best. Rest in peace. Andy Grove was 79 years old
