Intel 4004 Microprocessor 35th Anniversary

Thu, 29 Jul 2010 23:30:28 +0000

[Recorded Nov 13, 2006] The Computer History Museum and the Intel Museum mark the 35th anniversary of one of the most important products in technology history. Introduced in November 1971, the Intel® 4004 microprocessor was an early and significant commercial product to embody computer architecture within a silicon device. And it started an electronics revolution that changed our world. There were no customer-programmable microprocessors on the market before the 4004. It was the first and it was the enabling technology that propelled software into the limelight as a key player in the world of digital electronics design. Intel, which had been making memory chips, used the 4004 as a technical and marketing launch pad to develop an expertise in microprocessors that, in quick time, made it a market leader. This strategy allowed it to emerge as the most influential designer and producer of microprocessors—the engine of the information age—for over three decades. In celebration of this milestone anniversary and the November 15, 2006 opening of Intel Museum’s new exhibit entitled, “The Intel 4004 Microprocessor ,” Intel 4004 designers Ted Hoff and Federico Faggin take center stage with an historical perspective on the evolution of the 4004, from a special-order from Japanese calculator manufacturer Busicom, to a mass-produced device. Additionally, Tim McNerney, who assembled and led a talented team of engineers and designers to create the Intel 4004 35th anniversary exhibit with …

Moore’s Law 40th Anniversary with Gordon Moore

Fri, 28 May 2010 17:35:03 +0000

[Recorded Sept 29, 2005] 2005 marks the 40th anniversary of Moore’s Law, Gordon E. Moore’s 1965 observation and prediction about the exponential growth in the power of semiconductor technology. Moore observed that semiconductor technology had doubled in power every year and predicted that it would continue along this developmental path. Originally named Moore’s Law several years later by the physicist Carver Mead, that simple observation has proven to be the bulwark of the world’s most remarkable industry. In 1975, Moore updated this to a doubling about every two years. History has thus far proven Moore’s law correct, and this special conversation between Moore and Mead looks back on the past 40 years on what has made this electronics revolution possible.
