 | | During the 1990s, Intel's Intel Architecture Labs (IAL) was responsible for many of the hardware innovations of the personal computer, including the PCI Bus, the PCI Express (PCIe) bus, the Universal Serial Bus (USB), and the now-dominant architecture for multiprocessor servers. | | | Intel is also an abbreviation for intelligence, used in reference to military intelligence and espionage. | | | Robert Noyce was Intel's CEO at its founding in 1969, followed by co-founder Gordon Moore in 1975. |

| | Intel 4004 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The 4004 is the first computer processor designed and manufactured by chip maker Intel, which previously made semiconductor memory chips. | | | The Intel 4004, a 4-bit central processing unit (CPU) released by Intel Corp. in 1971, is widely considered to be the world's first commercial single-chip microprocessor. | | | Although originally designed to be a component in an Intel customer's calculator products, the 4004 soon found many uses as a flexible replacement for collections of simple logic chips in a variety of applications, thus indicating that there existed an untapped market for microprocessors as such. |

| | The Intel 8086/8088 range of processors were based upon Complex Instruction Set Computing (CISC) which allows the number of bytes per instruction to vary according to the instruction being processed. | | | The architechture pioneered by Intel has become known as "x86" due to the early naming system where processors were called 8086, 80186 (not used in PC's), 80286, 80386, and 80486. | | | This was the first Intel processor not to use the x86 naming system. |

| | After having led from the beginning all of Intel's microprocessor development activity, at the time of his leaving Faggin was heading all of the MOS chip design activity, with the exception of dynamic memories. | | | He demostrated that the 4004 could be used for applications other than calculators and vigorously campaigned inside Intel to make the 4004 available to the general market. | | | This semiconductor technology was copied by Intel and made into its core manufacturing technology, enabling the early realization of high-performance memories and the microprocessor. |

| | The 4004 provided the computing power for Pioneer 10. | | | Using a maximum clock rate of 740 KHz, the 4004 could execute 1-byte instructions at 92,500 per second, and 2-byte (8-bits) instructions at half that, or 46,250 per second. | | | Also, Intel's small MOS staff was fully occupied with the 1101 memory chip, so design resources weren't available. |

| | Computer Terminal Corporation (later known as Datapoint) had visited Intel in late 1969 to contract Intel to design and build a custom bipolar memory chip for their small CPU, which was to be built using TTL logic components (as was customary in those days). | | | Hoff and Mazor, based on the simplicity of the architecture, proposed that Intel build this CPU in a single chip. | | | This delay almost cost Intel the microprocessor leadership to Motorola’s 6800. |

| | Intel got the rights on the chip design and to build in the 4004 into other computers as well. | | | Busicom chose Mostek and Intel for the development of the chipset since these were the only two companies, who were experienced in silicon gate MOS technology at this time. | | | Since it could just manage 4 bits at once the 4004 was much slower and less powerful than a state of the art central processing unit of a computer. |
