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 Stanley Mazor. After the invention of integrated circuits revolutionized computer design‚ the only place to go was down -- in size that is. The Intel 4004 chip took the integrated circuit down one step further by placing all the parts that made a computer think (i.e. central processing

Project Crush helped it to gain IBM’s contract for the 8088 microprocessor. * By entering into a long term relationship with Microsoft‚ which was its complementor. * R&D also resulted in Intel coming up with upgrades and new generation of chips at a rapid rate. * Intel like many other microprocessors didn’t believe in patents and copyrights as

design things‚ store information‚ and communicate with each other. Microprocessors have shaped how computing developed through the years. The microprocessor originated back in 1971 with the Intel 4004. It was a 4 bit BCD (Binary-Coded Decimal) oriented microprocessor. It helped advance the computer industry in ways such as giving other manufacturers a baseline to work off of and some competition in the field of microprocessors. The 4004 really was the start of microprocessing in the computer industry

The history of computers and evolution Computers have been around a lot longer than many people might imagine. The word "computer" has changed meaning over decades‚ but the electronic computer that we think of in modern times developed throughout the second half of the 20th century. Its popularity as a household item surged in the 1980s following the arrival of operating systems by Apple and Microsoft that mixed graphics and text‚ replacing the text-only systems of the 1970s. By the 1990s‚ computers

Many more computer companies were born during this time‚ and eventually this led to personal computers for everyday use. Microprocessors introduced the beginning of the "Fourth Generation" and a time where computers were in almost every house.
