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]
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
The Altair 8800 is a microcomputer designed in 1974 by MITS and based on the Intel 8080 CPU. [2] Interest grew quickly after it was featured on the cover of the January 1975 issue of Popular Electronics [3] and was sold by mail order through advertisements there, in Radio-Electronics, and in other hobbyist magazines.
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 ...
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.
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 ...
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.
The Z80 was the processor for home computers like the Tandy TRS-80 of 1977, the Sinclair ZX Spectrum of 1982 and many others. 1976: US MOS Technology introduces the KIM-1 microcomputer system as a demonstrator for its 6502 CPU. 1976: US Cray-1 supercomputer was invented by Seymour Cray. He left Control Data in 1972 to form his own
