But who invented the first commercially available microprocessor? That honor goes to Intel for the 4004. We pick up the tale with Robert Noyce, who had co-invented the IC while at Fairchild ...

This is quite a bit bigger than the original 12mm² die. The Intel 4004 was among the first microprocessors and one of the first to use the MOS silicon-gate technology. In the decades long race to ...

The Intel 8088 Micro-processor ran at 5MHz, representing a 50-times speed boost against the 4004 chip eight years before, and it included 29,000 transistors – which was more than 12 times the ...

Invented by engineer Ted Hoff, Intel introduces the 4004, the first microprocessor, which contains more than 2,000 transistors. Before the microprocessor, machines that performed the same ...

In late 1970 Intel introduces a 1K RAM chip and the 4004, a 4-bit microprocessor. Two years later comes the 8008, an 8-bit microprocessor.

The Intel 8080 didn’t revolutionise microprocessors – it created the microprocessor market. “The 4004 and 8008 suggested it, ...

The first microprocessor. Designed by Marcian E. "Ted" Hoff at Intel in 1971, the 4004 was a 4-bit, general-purpose CPU initially developed for the Japanese Busicom calculator. Running at a clock ...
