Intel 4004 / MCS-4 50th Anniversary Celebration
[Recorded December 8, 2021]
The Intel 4004 integrated circuit was the first microprocessor available as a separate component and ushered in the digital revolution, one of the most transformative periods in human history. Initially sold as a replacement for discrete logic, the 4004 showed that hardware could be replaced by software, in the process enabling exciting and powerful new ways of implementing circuit functions and processing information. In this remarkable recording, key inventors of the 4004 tell the story in full: its origins, development, and the role the microprocessor has played in both Intel’s and human history. Featured on the recording are Intel engineers Marcian “Ted” Hoff, Federico Faggin, and Hal Feeney. Moderator for the discussion is former Intel Senior Vice President of Corporate Strategy Dave House.
