Intel turns 40

Happy 40th birthday, Intel! Now that you're over the hill, we'd suggest buying a Porsche, building completely custom one-off chips for Apple, or in some other way jeopardizing your financial well being in order to actualize pent-up childhood dreams, but we'd say AMD's recent struggles are just about the best present you could've asked for. Sure, the EU is trying its best to put a damper on things, but don't let that get you down, your best years are still to come. Maybe.

[Thanks, Kevin]

[brickwood @ Jul 18th 2008 1:45PM]

i rofl'd!

[nd @ Jul 18th 2008 12:09PM]

Wow, the logo made me laugh. :)

[Lowest Ranked @ Jul 18th 2008 12:11PM]

Took me awhile but I eventually saw it.

[Mike @ Jul 18th 2008 1:39PM]

i thought it crapped its pants for a few seconds lol

[vdogg89 @ Jul 18th 2008 4:17PM]

that logo is awesome. Potochop FTW!

[Sudo @ Jul 18th 2008 12:09PM]

Intel forever.

[phanbouy @ Jul 18th 2008 12:12PM]

what is this 1984? the Gonzo would never write such tripe.

[CUBSWILLWIN @ Jul 18th 2008 2:10PM]

Remember your commas. It sounds like you don't know what the year 1984 is...

[nathan.wong @ Jul 18th 2008 12:10PM]

That was really creative. I like that middle age head look on the Intel symbol.

[Lowest Ranked @ Jul 18th 2008 12:10PM]

Ok, well Happy Birthday and all.... but what does that have anything to do with poop on their logo?

Christ Almighty I am hungover.

[phanbouy @ Jul 18th 2008 12:13PM]

it's Mr. Intel, the Christmas Poo!

[itlnstln @ Jul 30th 2008 4:13PM]

@ Lowest Ranked

The way you're taking that X-Rated to the dome, I can see why...

[Lowest Ranked @ Jul 18th 2008 3:43PM]

And this whole time I thought the pot had been laced.

[Pierre @ Jul 18th 2008 12:11PM]

I Love Intel's new combover
should make new browncomb processor

[thedesolate1 @ Jul 18th 2008 12:22PM]

Intel buys a Porche for their 40th and AMD buys a Tesla roadster. Thats the difference my friends. Innovation and disruption of the status quo FTW.

[Jesus @ Jul 18th 2008 12:49PM]

actually, amd can't afford any of those right now

[thedesolate1 @ Jul 18th 2008 6:12PM]

Well maybe a Prius would be more suitable for their budget.

[ReductiMat @ Jul 18th 2008 12:25PM]

Hahaha, great logo.

[yode @ Jul 18th 2008 12:31PM]

Epic Logo

[iEye @ Jul 18th 2008 12:40PM]

That Logo is Brilliant and mockingly ruthless at the same time...
and all it took was a few lines of poo poo hair in MS Paint...

[SirCrumpet @ Jul 18th 2008 12:41PM]

Aging Multinational Corporations - Check!

Ahhh Microsoft Paint™, is there nothing you CAN'T do?

[lukas88 @ Jul 18th 2008 12:42PM]

I bow to Engadget's impeccable wit

[Billy-up @ Jul 18th 2008 12:52PM]

Oh my God! I nearly spit out my coffee seeing the logo... epic logo indeed! Fantastic humor... /bow

[chris @ Jul 18th 2008 1:02PM]

My concern is, as intel gets older, will that leap turn into a crawl?

[OneLove @ Jul 18th 2008 1:56PM]

no they will run for president

[Aaronage @ Jul 18th 2008 1:02PM]

Happy Birthday!

You've brought us all so much joy and pain over the years :D

[Scott K. @ Jul 18th 2008 1:04PM]

To complete the logo transformation, add to the slogan:

Leap Ahead...
- but don't pull a hammy, you over-the-hill athlete wannabe
- careful not to break that hip
- then drop the oil, Spy Hunter!
- and pay your partners to keep the other guy from jumping

[Mr. Brew @ Jul 18th 2008 1:13PM]

That logo is legendary, I just beer'd my keyboard :)

[Don Corleone @ Jul 18th 2008 2:06PM]

getting old sucks.

[icepop4who @ Jul 18th 2008 2:11PM]

Forget Porsche, buy AMD. Poor middle-age-crisis Intel.

[Josh L @ Jul 18th 2008 3:22PM]

Wow, it's actually my birthday today, too.

I'm just going to the beach with my girlfriend instead of making millions of dollars by stagnating the processor market, though.

[Abuzar Baloach @ Jul 18th 2008 11:13PM]

Intel is STAGNATING the CPU market?

Wow, do you even know ANYTHING about CPUs? Seems like you are still stuck in the P4 days...

[Xultar @ Jul 18th 2008 4:27PM]

roffpnmfplmfao

[Paul Dullford @ Jul 18th 2008 4:39PM]

So I guess Intel's midlife crisis will lead it to "limp ahead"?

[Appdirect @ Jul 18th 2008 5:22PM]

The logo Looks like steve ballmer.

[silverblackvoid @ Jul 19th 2008 5:28AM]

happy birthday Intel!!!

[Bucket @ Jul 19th 2008 1:11PM]

I own a Porsche and I'm only 28.
:D

[Col. Newman @ Jul 19th 2008 11:03PM]

Intel SUCKS

[Jm Palacios @ Jul 23rd 2008 6:13PM]

Sweet! So I share my birthday with Intel?
I'm about 15 years younger, though. :-)
