Intel is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the production of the first commercial microprocessor. Exactly 50 years ago, the Intel 4004 was unveiled – the first commercial microprocessor that became ...

That machine had a 32-bit MIPS R3000 processor running at 8 MHz; the Intel 4004 works in 4-bit nibbles and runs at 790 KHz. Yes, that's 0.79 MHz.

Intel specifically designed the 4004 to power the Busicom 141-PF, a calculator manufactured in Japan, so its list of operations was essentially adding and subtracting. It had no logic functions.

The final hardware uses the 4004 (overclocked to 790 kHz) along with several other period-correct support chips from Intel's MCS-4 chipset. It includes a VFD display to show Linux output and can ...

Investigates the context for the development of one of the earliest microprocessors, the Intel 4004. It considers the contributions made by Intel employees, most notably Marcian E. "Ted" Hoff, Jr. and ...

The Intel 4004 was among the first microprocessors and one of the first to use the MOS silicon-gate technology. In the decades long race to build bigger CPUs, it’s been mostly forgotten. Forg… ...
