The first chips that could be considered microprocessors were designed and manufactured in the late 1960s and early 1970s, including the MP944 used in the Grumman F-14 CADC. [1] Intel's 4004 of 1971 is widely regarded as the first commercial microprocessor. [2]
In 1970 and 1971, Weisbecker developed a new 8 bit architecture computer system. This work preceded the release of the 4004 by competitor Intel.He built a demonstration home computer powered by the 1802 called FRED (Flexible Recreational and Educational Device) that utilized cassette tape for storage and a television for display.

Charles Ingerham Peddle [2] (November 25, 1937 – December 15, 2019) [3] was an American electrical engineer best known as the main designer of the MOS Technology 6502 microprocessor, the KIM-1 single-board computer, and its successor, the Commodore PET personal computer, both based on the 6502. [1] [4] [5] [6]
The earliest multi-chip microprocessors were the Four-Phase Systems AL1 in 1969 and Garrett AiResearch MP944 in 1970, each using several MOS LSI chips. [33] On November 15, 1971, Intel released the world's first single-chip microprocessor, the 4004 , on a single MOS LSI chip.
Gary Arlen Kildall (/ ˈ k ɪ l d ˌ ɔː l /; May 19, 1942 – July 11, 1994) was an American computer scientist and microcomputer entrepreneur. During the 1970s, Kildall created the CP/M operating system among other operating systems and programming tools, [5] and subsequently founded Digital Research, Inc. to market and sell his software products.
In 1969, he worked with Intel's Ted Hoff and Stanley Mazor to reduce the three-chip Busicom proposal into a one-chip architecture. In 1970, that architecture was transformed into a silicon chip, the Intel 4004, by Federico Faggin, with Shima's assistance in logic design. [3] [4] [5] He later joined Intel in 1972.
In 1990, American engineer Gilbert Hyatt was awarded U.S. Patent No. 4,942,516, [33] which was based on a 16-bit serial computer he built at his Northridge, California, home in 1969 from boards of bipolar chips after quitting his job at Teledyne in 1968; [2] [34] though the patent had been submitted in December 1970 and prior to Texas ...
Using a locally produced microprocessor based on the design of the Intel 4004. First built in 1972, a small number shipped in early 1973. [22] [23] Micral N: Intel 8008 [24] 1973: Awarded the title of "the first personal computer using a microprocessor" by a panel at the Computer History Museum in 1986. [25] Seiko 7000 Intel 8080: 1974
