The Intel 4004 is a 4-bit central processing unit (CPU) released by Intel Corporation in 1971. Sold for US$60 (equivalent to $450 in 2023 [2]), it was the first commercially produced microprocessor, [3] and the first in a long line of Intel CPUs.
As Moore's Law continued to drive the industry towards more complex chip designs, the expected widespread move from 8-bit designs of the 1970s to 16-bit designs almost didn't occur; instead, new 32-bit designs like the Motorola 68000 and National Semiconductor NS32000 emerged that offered far more performance.
[5] [6] [7] According to Fujitsu, it was "the world's first 16-bit microcomputer on a single chip". [6] The Intel 8080 was the basis for the 16-bit Intel 8086, which is a direct ancestor to today's ubiquitous x86 family (including Pentium and Intel Core). Every instruction of the 8080 has a direct equivalent in the large x86 instruction set ...

Intel launches the Intel MCS-48 series of microcontrollers, the world's first microcontrollers (which combine a CPU with memory, peripherals, and input-output functions). [4] 1978: June: Product: Intel introduces the 8086 16-bit microprocessor, which becomes the industry standard (for the x86 instruction set). [6] 1979: November: Product
The MITS Altair, the first commercially successful microprocessor kit, was featured on the cover of Popular Electronics magazine in January 1975. It was the world's first mass-produced personal computer kit, as well as the first computer to use an Intel 8080 processor. It was a commercial success with 10,000 Altairs being shipped.
The Pentium (also referred to as the i586 or P5 Pentium) is a microprocessor introduced by Intel on March 22, 1993. It is the first CPU using the Pentium brand. [3] [4] Considered the fifth generation in the x86 (8086) compatible line of processors, [5] succeeding the i486, its implementation and microarchitecture was internally called P5.
The 16 MHz 386SX contains the 100-lead BQFP. It was available for USD $165 in quantities of 1000. It has the performance of 2.5 to 3 MIPS as well. [13] The low-power version was available on April 10, 1989. This version that uses 20 to 30 percent less power and has higher operating temperature up to 100 °C than the regular version. [16]
