   Intel's 4004, the world's first single-chip microprocessor:

   4 bit
   2300 transistors
   108 kHz clock speed
   50 years of age

   Happy Birthday!

     @fribbledom
     it’s intel’s 4004
     no single chip micro before
     let’s count all 2300 transistor
     108 khz ? that’s hard core
     a 50 year old is no sophomore
     let’s give this gem its encore

     @fribbledom Back when processor designs could be understood by one person. There's a reason those old chips are still used as examples to teach microarchitecture in universities. Good times.
