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 ...

An interview with Gates by the Associated Press notes how the billionaire has a soft spot for Intel. The publication suggesting that his career might have ...

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 ...

In November 1971, Intel launched the 4004 microprocessor, which was the first such chip that could be programmed to do different tasks in software, rather than hardwire those features in the chip ...

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 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 ...
