Intel 4004
The Intel Corporation 4004 was the first single chip microprocessor
Intel 4004
In November, 1971, a company called Intel publicly introduced the world's first single chip microprocessor, the Intel 4004 (U.S. Patent #3,821,715), invented by Intel engineers Federico Faggin, Ted Hoff, and Stan Mazor.
The first single chip processor was the Intel 4004. It ran at 764 khz (yes that is kilo hertz)
The Intel 4004 was a 4-bit central processing unit (CPU) released by Intel Corporation in 1971. The chief designers of the chip were Federico Faggin, Ted Hoff and Masatoshi Shima.
8008-4004=4004 (Eight thousand and eight minus four thousand and four equals 4004)
The first CPU chip was released on November 15, 1971 by Intel. The processor was called the Intel 4004 and was a 4-bit CPU.
If you mean microprocessor then Intel is usually credited with the 4004. If you just mean the first digital IC used in a computer, probably Fairchild.
The first microprocessor to make it into a home computer was the Intel 4004. This chip could process 4 bits at one time. -Harry Dingleberry
Intel had produced four bit and eight bit Microprocessor chips in the 1970's and it started it's 16 bit family of microprocessor chips with the 8086 chip and the family has developed through five generations to date.
