who introduced the first microprocessor for intel in 1971?
federico faggin
intel's first products were shift register memory and random-access memory integrated circuits, and intel grew to be a leader in the fiercely competitive dram, sram, and rom markets throughout the 1970s. concurrently, intel engineers marcian hoff, federico faggin, stanley mazor and masatoshi shima invented intel's first microprocessor. originally developed for the japanese company busicom to replace a number of asics in a calculator already produced by busicom, the intel 4004 was introduced to the mass market on november 15, 1971, though the microprocessor did not become the core of intel's business until the mid-1980s. (note: intel is usually given credit with texas instruments for the almost-simultaneous invention of the microprocessor)

busicom was a japanese company that owned the rights to intel's first microprocessor, the intel 4004, which they created in partnership with intel in 1970.









































busicom asked intel to design a set of integrated circuits for a new line of programmable electronic calculators in 1969. in doing this, they spurred the invention of intel's first microprocessor to be commercialized, the intel 4004. busicom owned the exclusive rights to the design and its components in 1970 but shared them with intel in 1971.
