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 Intel_4004is generally regarded as the first microprocessor, and cost thousands of dollars. The first known advertisement for the 4004 is dated November 1971 and appeared in Electronic_News. The project that produced the 4004 originated in 1969, when Busicom, a Japanese calculator manufacturer, asked Intel to build a chipset for high-performance desktop calculators. Busicom's original design called for a programmable chip set consisting of seven different chips. Three of the chips were to make a special-purpose CPU with its program stored in ROM and its data stored in shift register read-write memory. Ted_Hoff, the Intel engineer assigned to evaluate the project, believed the Busicom design could be simplified by using dynamic RAM storage for data, rather than shift register memory, and a more traditional general-purpose CPU architecture. Hoff came up with a four-chip architectural proposal: a ROM chip for storing the programs, a dynamic RAM chip for storing data, a simple I/O device and a 4-bit central processing unit (CPU). Although not a chip designer, he felt the CPU could be integrated into a single chip. This chip would later be called the 4004 microprocessor"
This is usually credited to Ted Hoff at Intel, the 4004.
Actually, the first commercial microprocessor was the AL1 developed by Four Phase Systems. See the Description of this chip on the Computer History Museum timeline: http://www.computerhistory.org/revolution/digital-logic/12/282/1523

Who is the first microprocessor?
The first microprocessor is invented by Intel that is 4004(its name.) in around 1970...
Who invented the microprocessor first and what was the first microprocessor?
Ted hughes was the first person who designed microprocessors. In 1971 Ted hughes make first microprocessor for intel. The name of the first microprocessor was: Intel-4004. It contains lacs of electronic circuits.
Who is first invented 8051 microcontroller or 8051 microprocessor?
Intel
When and by whom did the world's first microprocessor come into the market?
The question is unclear, but it looks like it meant to ask when the first microprocessor was invented. That was the Intel 4004, invented in 1971. It was the first single chip microprocessor, and the first microprocessor available commercially. The 4004 was a 4 bit processor, with a 12 bit address bus and an 8 bit opcode. Everything was multiplexed, 4 bits at a time, in 8 clock cycles per instruction.
Who invented microprocessor?
ted hoff
What is the first microprocessor?
The first microprocessor was the Intel 4004.
When was the computer processor invented?
Silicon or Si which is the most basic component of all processors was discovered in 1823. The first ever microprocessor was invented in 1971.
Has the intended purpose of the microprocessor change since it was originally invented?
Intel has changed the global marketplaces dramatically since it was founded in 1968 the company invented the microprocessor, the "computer on a chip" made possible the first handheld calculators and personal computers. by the early 21st century, Intel's microprocessor were found in approximately 80 percent of PCs worldwide.
Who is the inventor of microprocessor?
Ted Hoff invented microrpocessors
Which is first microprocessor of Intel?
The Intel 4004 was the world's first microprocessor. It was designed in 1970.
Which is the first general purpose microprocessor?
4004 is the first general purpose microprocessor by Intel
Who invented the first technology?
That depends on your definition of "first technology". Technological advances, such as the wheel or the inclined plane, have been around for thousands of years. Others, such as the Microprocessor, have been around since 1974, when Intel invented the 4004.
