INTEL confirms PRESCOTT is a SPACE HEATER

[pIII_Man]

good point but the 4004 was not the first microprocessor contrary to what intel says...there were calculators before then that had em...

If i put my k6 in a Ferrari it would be faster than your your pentium 4 or Athlon XP :tongue:

Ya which they made as well... japs contracted em out to make calculators they were like sweet this is a cool idea they bought the rights from japs then make the 4004 the first mainstream product... thats if my memory serves me right...

"The Intel 4004 was originally designed for use in a Busicom scientific calculator, but Intel engineers realized the design of the chip afforded multi-purpose use - thus the microprocessor was born. The 4004 contains 2000 transistors and is a 4-bit microprocessor capable of processing 4 bits of information at a time at a rate of about 0.06 MHz. Compare this to current microprocessors that contain many millions of transistors and whose clock speed is measured in GHz. But the 4004 found widespread use in many applications, including being used on the Pioneer 10 spacecraft launched in 1972. For many years Pioneer 10 held the record as the most distant man-made object, until it was surpassed by Voyager 1 in 1998. Pioneer 10 continues to transmit useful data back to Earth to the present day."

The 4004 was the first microprocessor. The 8080 (also Intel) was the first microprocessor designed for home use.

I'm just your average habitual smiler =D

you forgot the 8008...

interesting data...can you post a link plz...i kinda have a soft spot for old cpus...
