Intel Corporation provided an intern experience second to none in terms of real projects that have a measured effect on a given business unit.

During the summer I worked in the Visual Computing Group (VCG) developing a competitive investment analysis of graphics processor manufacturers.  As part of my benchmarking exercise, I presented my findings to various stakeholders in the company and offered my recommendations on continued spending levels for VCG.

The project wasn't easy.  I found that in an internal flat-spending environment, defending the need for additional funding was difficult to justify--especially to other competing organizations within the company!  This fact made my internship very fulfilling and provided an incentive to deliver the best possible output to my team.
