Intel has had the government as a customer for a long time. They even have a division for it (Intel Federal)

Did they manufacture military designs though? Or just sell Intel designs (with some modifications) to military?
Intel was making 386 chips for the F-22 for a looking time after they became obsolete.
I thought the F-22 initially used the i960, not the 386, but then switched to PowerPC.

386 in the F22?! Why ? Such an old chip even considering the plane was in design for years no ?
