Can you have a list of companies manufacturing processors?

Answer 1

This is a list of companies who manufactured processors sometime or another. Some of these companies aren't manufacturing processors currently.

Though Intel, and AMD has a huge market share of microprocessors required for home/personal computers, Zilog stays in the background. Zilog manufactures processors for other equipments like remote controls, microwave ovens, mobile phones, PDA's, and similar.
