Explanation

Intel founders Gordon Moore and Robert Noyce initially wanted to name their company "Moore Noyce" but abandoned it because it sounded like "more noise." They chose "Intel" as a contraction of "Integrated Electronics." Microsoft, Xerox, and HP have different naming origins unrelated to this pun.
