According to Nick Tredennick, a microprocessor designer and expert witness to that 1996 patent case: Here are my opinions from [the] study [I conducted for the patent case]. The first microprocessor in a commercial product was the Four Phase Systems AL1. The first commercially available (sold as a component) microprocessor was the 4004 from Intel.
While there is disagreement over who invented the microprocessor, [2] [14] the first commercially available microprocessor was the Intel 4004, released as a single MOS LSI chip in 1971. [15] The single-chip microprocessor was made possible with the development of MOS silicon-gate technology (SGT). [16]
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]
Intel 4004 microprocessor. The first commercial microprocessor, the binary-coded decimal (BCD) based Intel 4004, was released by Intel in 1971. [1] [2] In March 1972, Intel introduced a microprocessor with an 8-bit architecture, the 8008, an integrated pMOS logic re-implementation of the transistor–transistor logic (TTL) based Datapoint 2200 CPU.
Federico Faggin (Italian pronunciation: [fedeˈriːko fadˈdʒin], Venetian:; born 1 December 1941) is an Italian-American physicist, engineer, inventor and entrepreneur. He is best known for designing the first commercial microprocessor, the Intel 4004.
Intel launches the Intel 8080 microprocessor, the first general-purpose microprocessor, featuring 4,500 transistors. [4] This finally kickstarts computer development. [6] 1976: Product: Intel launches the Intel MCS-48 series of microcontrollers, the world's first microcontrollers (which combine a CPU with memory, peripherals, and input-output ...
The first self-contained general-purpose desktop computer to ship with the Intel 8080 microprocessor in April 1974 (as a pre-production unit) and one of the first commercially available computers with the 8080 in June 1974 (first production units shipped August 1974). Also included a built-in printer and early multi-line flat-panel plasma display.
In 2009 the four were inducted as Fellows of the Computer History Museum "for their work as the team that developed the Intel 4004, the world's first commercial microprocessor." [2] In 2010, Mazor and his co-inventors Hoff and Faggin, were awarded the National Medal of Technology by President Barack Obama.
