The story of the first microprocessor, one you may have heard, goes something like this: The Intel 4004 was introduced in late 1971, for use in a calculator.

The 4-bit microprocessor was used in the likes of calculators and taxi meters (however its usage in Pioneer 10, the first spacecraft to leave our solar system, is sadly a myth).

Texas Instruments' TMS 1000 first hit the market in calculators in 1974, but TI claimed it was invented in 1971, before the 4004. Moreover, TI was awarded a patent in 1973 for the microprocessor ...

When the Grumman F-14 Tomcat first flew in 1970, it was a marvel. With its variable-sweep wing, twin tail, and sleek lines, it quickly became one of the most iconic jet fighters of the era — … ...

Probably is technically the first microprocessor, but I don’t think that makes the F-14 the first microcomputer. Report comment. Reply. Ostracus says: September 28, 2022 at 5:48 pm ...
