1971: 4004 Microprocessor
                      • The 4004 was Intel's
                        first microprocessor.
                        This breakthrough
                        invention powered the
                        Busicom calculator
                        and paved the way for
                        embedding
                        intelligence in
                        inanimate objects as
                        well as the personal
                        computer.

1972: 8008 Microprocessor
             • The 8008 was twice as
               powerful as the 4004. A
               1974 article in Radio
               Electronics referred to a
               device called the Mark-8
               which used the 8008. The
               Mark-8 is known as one
               of the first computers for
               the home --one that by
               today's standards was
               difficult to build, maintain
               and operate.
1974: 8080 Microprocessor
             • The 8080 became the
               brains of the first personal
               computer--the Altair,
               allegedly named for a
               destination of the
               Starship Enterprise from
               the Star Trek television
               show. Computer
               hobbyists could purchase
               a kit for the Altair for
               $395. Within months, it
               sold tens of thousands,
               creating the first PC back
               orders in history.
1978: 8086-8088 Microprocessor
               • A pivotal sale to IBM's
                 new personal computer
                 division made the 8088
                 the brains of IBM's new
                 hit product--the IBM PC.
                 The 8088's success
                 propelled Intel into the
                 ranks of the Fortune 500,
                 and Fortune magazine
                 named the company one
                 of the "Business
                 Triumphs of the
                 Seventies."
1982: 286 Microprocessor
            • The Intel 286, originally
              known as the 80286, was
              the first Intel processor
              that could run all the
              software written for its
              predecessor. This
              software compatibility
              remains a hallmark of
              Intel's family of
              microprocessors. Within 6
              years of its release, an
              estimated 15 million 286-
              based personal
              computers were installed
              around the world.
1985: Intel386™ Microprocessor
               • The Intel386™
                 microprocessor
                 featured 275,000
                 transistors--more than
                 100 times as many as
                 the original 4004. It
                 was a Intel’s first 32-
                 bit chip.
1989: Intel486™ DX CPU
    Microprocessor
           • The Intel486™ processor
             generation really meant you go
             from a command-level
             computer into point-and-click
             computing. "I could have a
             color computer for the first time
             and do desktop publishing at a
             significant speed," recalls
             technology historian David K.
             Allison of the Smithsonian's
             National Museum of American
             History. The Intel486™
             processor was the first to offer
             a built-in math coprocessor,
             which speeds up computing
             because it offloads complex
             math functions from the central
             processor.
1993: Intel® Pentium® Processor
                • The Intel Pentium® processor
                  allowed computers to more
                  easily incorporate "real world"
                  data such as speech, sound,
                  handwriting and photographic
                  images. The Intel Pentium
                  brand, mentioned in the
                  comics and on television talk
                  shows, became a household
                  word soon after introduction.

    Intel Microprocessors Dileep Bhandarkar
  • 2.
    1971: 4004 Microprocessor • The 4004 was Intel's first microprocessor. This breakthrough invention powered the Busicom calculator and paved the way for embedding intelligence in inanimate objects as well as the personal computer. Introduced November 15, 1971 108 KHz, 50 KIPs , 2300 10m transistors
  • 3.
    1972: 8008 Microprocessor • The 8008 was twice as powerful as the 4004. A 1974 article in Radio Electronics referred to a device called the Mark-8 which used the 8008. The Mark-8 is known as one of the first computers for the home --one that by today's standards was difficult to build, maintain and operate.
  • 4.
    1974: 8080 Microprocessor • The 8080 became the brains of the first personal computer--the Altair, allegedly named for a destination of the Starship Enterprise from the Star Trek television show. Computer hobbyists could purchase a kit for the Altair for $395. Within months, it sold tens of thousands, creating the first PC back orders in history.
  • 5.
    1978: 8086-8088 Microprocessor • A pivotal sale to IBM's new personal computer division made the 8088 the brains of IBM's new hit product--the IBM PC. The 8088's success propelled Intel into the ranks of the Fortune 500, and Fortune magazine named the company one of the "Business Triumphs of the Seventies."
  • 6.
    1982: 286 Microprocessor • The Intel 286, originally known as the 80286, was the first Intel processor that could run all the software written for its predecessor. This software compatibility remains a hallmark of Intel's family of microprocessors. Within 6 years of its release, an estimated 15 million 286- based personal computers were installed around the world.
  • 7.
    1985: Intel386™ Microprocessor • The Intel386™ microprocessor featured 275,000 transistors--more than 100 times as many as the original 4004. It was a Intel’s first 32- bit chip.
  • 8.
    1989: Intel486™ DXCPU Microprocessor • The Intel486™ processor generation really meant you go from a command-level computer into point-and-click computing. "I could have a color computer for the first time and do desktop publishing at a significant speed," recalls technology historian David K. Allison of the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History. The Intel486™ processor was the first to offer a built-in math coprocessor, which speeds up computing because it offloads complex math functions from the central processor.
