The Intel 4004 is a 4-bit central processing unit (CPU) released by Intel Corporation in 1971. Sold for US$60 (equivalent to $470 in 2024 [2]), it was the first commercially produced microprocessor, [3] and the first in a long line of Intel CPUs.
Using a locally produced microprocessor based on the design of the Intel 4004. First built in 1972, a small number shipped in early 1973.

Intel Haswell Core i7-4771 CPU, sitting atop its original packaging that contains an OEM fan-cooled heatsink. This generational list of Intel processors attempts to present all of Intel's processors from the 4-bit 4004 (1971) to the present high-end offerings.
This week marks the 50th anniversary of Intel's 4004 — the first computer microprocessor. Charles Babbage designed his analytical engine in the 1840s and though he couldn't get it built before ...
Ft. Worth, Texas, U.S. (never opened) 2003 (canceled) Planned to open in Ft. Worth, Texas, in 1999, but was eventually canceled in 2003. [31] Fab 17: Hudson, Massachusetts, U.S. 1998 (acquired from DEC) 2014 Facility used older technology and closed (along with Fab 11X) because site was not large enough to accommodate a leading-edge fab.
Hoff joined Intel in 1968 as employee number 12 as "manager of applications research", and is credited with coming up with the idea of using a "universal processor" rather than a variety of custom-designed circuits in the architectural idea and an instruction set formulated with Stanley Mazor in 1969 for the Intel 4004—the chip that started ...
The 4004 was only capable of 60,000 instructions per second, but its successors brought ever-growing speed and power to computers, including the Intel 8008, 8080 (used in many computers using the CP/M operating system), and the 8086/8088 family. (The IBM personal computer (PC) and compatibles use processors that are still backward-compatible ...
After the 4004, Intel designed the 8008 (architecture by Computer Terminal Corporation, design by Federico Faggin and Hal Feeney). Shima then joined Intel in 1972. [2] He was employed to implement the transistor-level logic of Intel's next microprocessor, which became the Intel 8080 (conception and architecture by Federico Faggin), released in ...
