The Intel 8008
Time: 1972
Place: California, U.S.
Details: The Intel 4004 was followed in 1972 by the Intel 8008, the world's first 8-bit microprocessor. The 8008 was not, however, an extension of the 4004 design, but instead the culmination of a separate design project at Intel, arising from a contract with Computer Terminals Corporation, of San Antonio TX, for a chip for a terminal they were designing, the Datapoint 2200—fundamental aspects of the design came not from Intel but from CTC.
Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
