From Associated Press
NEW YORK —
The name is unknown, but his products are ubiquitous.
Intel Chairman Andrew Grove, whose innovative use of microchip technology helped change the computer industry, was named Saturday as Time magazine’s Man of the Year.
Grove, a Holocaust survivor who arrived in America a penniless refugee in 1956, earned the 71st annual honor for his work as chairman and CEO of Intel Corp. His company produces nearly 90% of the planet’s personal computer microprocessors.
Grove, 61, joins an elite group of honorees stretching from the first winner, Charles Lindbergh in 1927, to last year’s winner, AIDS researcher Dr. David Ho.
