[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 the Intel Museum and the Intel Corporate Archives, speaks at the conclusion of the panel. He addresses the process of reverse-engineering of the Intel 4004 schematics and the Busicom141-PF calculator ROM's that led his team to uncover elegantly crafted layers of a computational system that makes optimal use of hardware and software. This special anniversary program was moderated by industry veteran and Intel alum, Dave House.

In 1971 I remember talking to an engineer from Digital Equipment Corp. He said a company in California had come out with a computer on a chip. It took me a few minutes to comprehend what he had said. I was amazed. Great video!
Z Ÿ Vki
Back then it must have seemed unimaginable. Technology created for space must have felt like the limit of what was possible.
Quantum computing trend is going on nowadays
Well, happy 50th anniversary.
50 years now.
Great quality video and the content is nothing short of historic. What an honor! And we're also very fortunate to report Dr. Faggin is still among us at age 78, as of 2020.
In the 1970's my buisiness partners and I made laser light shows and made custom laser systems for the newspaper industry. we were given some 4004s samples. i found the 4004 toooooo slow and difficult to program, to use in our products. we used a fast 8 bit microprocessor from mostechnology, then motorola 6800. When 8080 came out we started using intel parts. The programming was all assembler, cost of the parts usually determined which microprocessor we would use.
this and linus torvalds presentations are my favorite I've seen on chm.
Very well done presentation. Great history. Thank to all.
Utterly fascinating. Takes me back to the good ol' days when personal computers hit the market in the early 80's. From entering game code in magazines, to learning assembler to writing your own games using books that exposed the ROM code... ( operating system ). You really needed to understand what was going on under the bonnet in order to get something working. The advent of the first programmable consumer products and the sheer excitement that people felt to be a part of this new culture changing technological wave are times that are now long gone, never to be repeated... 😊
You're wrong.
@@gigimuschi7466 you win.
Watching this from Bangladesh. Proud for being a part of intel.
Great Federico, I'm proud of this Italian scientist, whose invention in the field of integrated circuit shaped the world the way we know it now!!!! 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹😊😊😊😊
The DVD a speaker holds up, but doesn't mention the title of is: The Microprocessor Chronicles: The History of the Microprocessor It is no longer available for purchase, but apparently not released into the public domain either.
please someone rip this
$60 in 1971 IS $384 in 2020 but looks like even at that, it would solve a lot of problems. Nice talk!
Brings back memories. I worked for Computer Sciences Corp. in 1975-76 and our customers were asking for assemblers for Intel microprocessors (we sold time on our Univac 1108s).
What Japan should have done is to invest to processing unit, not memory. Memory was called "rice in hi-tech" promising high return of investment with small risks. It is believed that Mr. Masatoshi Shima went to Intel and contributed to the design of 4004 and 8080 chips, which is visible in the codes, although it is forgotten; Americans are jealous. The history tells that not giving him workplace in Japan was an easy-going.
Masatoshi Shima must have written the entire calculator code in machine language. I doubt he created an assembler. 4004 had 46 instructions in 8-bit or 16-bit format hence a 16-bit command took up 4 Rom address spaces. For example the 16-bit JMP instruction is 4-bit opcode plus 12-bit operand address hence can read up to 4k of Rom. Core had 16 index registers and 1 accumulator (all 4-bit). It can address 16x4 external inputs and 16x4 external outputs via extra MCS4 devices. 735Khz max clock speed. Someone was reading the future in 1970.
There is a video shown about 51 minutes in. The audio is indecipherable. Surley the Computer History Museum has access to the video and can insert it into this rather than the unsatisfactory video of video,
Federico Faggin is an absolute legend this guy deserves to be a household name , he should be more famous than steve jobs , what an inspiration this man is 😁 as far as i'm concerned coming from someone who is interested in software engineering and semiconductor design
My "after dinner talk" starts at 1:04:10 (introduction at 1:02:46). The conversation with Federico Faggin about Masatoshi Shima's "steel trap mind" begins at 1:13:07.
jh
What about the Datapoint 2200?
@niceguyblueeyes Please don't obsess over this. I'm cool, you're cool. A lot of people deserve some measure of credit for the first microprocessor.
I had no idea 1.5 hour vids could be uploaded to YT! Very interesting vid anyway.
\*laughs in the future*
wow, you should look at your own comment.
lolz
wow an old comment😯
/* Liking a 14 yo comment */
The content begins about 7 minutes into the video.
Everyone on the team are still with us. Marcian "Ted" Hoff is 85, Masatoshi Shima (the youngest) is 79, and Federico Faggin and Stanley Mazor are 81.
Fast Forward past the first 4 minutes, which is all just Quack-Quack before the speaker goes to the mic.
Как же быстро летит время . Этому видео уже 13 лет , а процессору вообще 49 . Не успеешь оглянуться , а это уже было так давно .

The introductory speaker can’t pronounce any foreign word or name correctly. Mayo?
4004 was not the first micro processor by some definitions the F14 20 bit CADC chipset predated it by over a year. CADC was several chips but the 4004 needed the 4003,4008,and 4009 chips to do anything.
I first noticed about the 4004 when I saw another video on KZhead about how microprocessors work in the first place
I did not know that the 4004 could move things in 16 different blocks of memory is this right?
I think that the year 4004 equals the year 2006 ad the same year that Astro world theme park got terminated mind blown
Can anyone explain the link between 16 pin package and the timing? It seems to relate to the type of clock they had to use. (1:33:00)
Since the chip had no internal clock it was hard to syncro the chips logic timing with other intergrated circuits. Nowdays every chip takes what the opearation clock is so everything is syncronized easy.
I think it is because of the bus. They had to do many clock cycles to get the instruction in and data out because they were restricted to 4 bit for data and address. He is not talking about clock but machine cycle.
So much rambling. About 20 mins of useful information here
He is mentioned at 0:43:05
today its the 40th ani
49th
Before QDOS!
1 hour and 47 minutes? My KZhead attention span is no where capable of watching this all the way through. :(
This video was uploaded before I was born I was born on 2008
Yes, you are able to do a substraction like a 4004!
Baby Shark is that way. 》》》》
I see Masatoshi Shima was left out of the engineering credits. He did 95% of the design work. This is completely unacceptable. This is extreme revisionism. Intel was completely lost without Masatoshi.
Federico Faggin and Masatoshi Shima did not receive sufficient credit
As a Muslim nano engineer I feel indebted to unitarian George Boole
That a rug ?

Mayo-ze Dong?!
That whole string of names he mispronounced and you only noticed that one? :-P
Look up Central Air Data Computer people.
A 4:3 recording in 2013 ?!? Wtf ?! Why not using Betamax ?!?
i know!! missing 10k recordings
WHAT IS HE TALKING ABOUT! Subtitles do not help, what is the "kenback 1"? Why aren't the subtitles checked before publishing, a picture of the computer would help. Speaking with a correct articulation would be a good step. I do not understand, nor does the subtitling department of KZhead can hear what he is saying.
I'm proud to be italian...
I think Bob Davis that told a story in a question at 1:27:15 died back in 2013, there is write up here: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5199655
1969 &ff.: ~6 people invent and produce the Microprocessor on a chip... 2006: Whole roomful of people can't produce quality audio visual aids :-/ #Progress? :-(

You entirely missed the progenitor of the 4004 and 8008 in the first place. DataPoint Corporation in SanAntonio Texas had working computers, albeit with processors of discrete components that were linked together in the first fully functional local area network (ArcNet) long before Xerox could get Ethernet to work. All these desktop computers were linked together and actually had dynamic resource allocation that worked. That is, processing power could be seamlessly "borrowed" by payroll from the secretaries computers when they went home at night. Gene Hughs, John Murphy, Harry Pyle, Jonathan Schmidt and others came up with the architecture for the 4004 and 8008; Intel was just the first to render it in silicon.....it was cheaper to pay mexican women in t he factory to stuff boards with discrete components at the time. Yet another example of how corporate executive hubris took a Fortune 500 computer company with a brilliant brain trust down to zero in just a few short years.
As an ex-Datapoint employee, this is how I understood the history: 1) no, there is no link between Datapoint (then still CTC) and the 4004. The history as told in this video is correct. 2) yes, the basic design for the 8008 was done by Datapoint who then requested TI and Intel to implement them (hence the mention in the video that the 8008 was done nearly in parallel with the 4004, and that TI came out with a similar 8008 design in ‘71). 3) When the Intel chip was finally delivered, Datapoint decided it was either too expensive or not performant enough compared to the discrete components implementation, and relinquished the design rights to Intel to cover the implementation costs - probably the first (but at least understandable) major poor management decision the company made in a longer list the subsequent two decades. For a better/more in depth explanation, please see the Wiki page on Datapoint.
^w^
Of course it can, but not with the wanted FPS, far from it.
ok but can it run crysis 2?
I will reproduce and distribute everything here just for the lol.
Paulo I thought the same, scroll down just to see if the only one.
Oh wow even here :D
'cause u r 12 yo loser huh?
Your post seems very combative and polemic. Nobody is discounting the contributions of others. My observation is Shima was THE ENGINE behind the entire effort. In a nutshell, even though there were good people making good contributions, it was BUSICOM and Shima that were the inspiration and drive. Now you can twist that anyway you like but those are the facts. This effort was very much about people, organization, and leadership as well as tech underpinnings. All good projects are.

I love how "computer" means whatever you need it to mean in support of your thesis. DEC and CDC's micro computers already existed and were superior to this. Moreover, if you were told to go sit at that computer right there - and the Kenbak was that computer, you would not know where to sit. You'd look all around you, saying, "what computer? Where?" A PC is a thing you can sit down at and see, on a monitor before you, direct results of your inputs to it. Calling the Apple One a PC is like calling Minecraft a "sandbox game," as though there had always been sandbox games and MC was just the newest one... The PC concept "emerged" from what Wozniak built, and nothing has upset this fact. Did they find Ms Lovelace's program yet? We certianlky have Ms Hopper's A to O Compiler to study... Where is Babbage's machine, hm? Eckert, Shockley, Kilby, Noyce, Wozniak. Those are the only names one needs to know to draw a straight line from ENIAC to your desktop.
The ENIAC was a project to improve on the classified British computer built during the war. Which modern histories of the ENIAC acknowledge freely since the original computer was rebuilt a few years ago. It improved upon it but without that original design, no ENIAC. Missing that out makes you straight line weird, it has a massive jump to the ENIAC. The British computer, colossus, was so secret that those who worked on it had to pretend to go to America, and look at the ENIAC, and then come back and recreate the computer they'd made previously, so they couldn't be accused of using "national security secrets" to build later British computers (LEO, Manchester Baby, etc) Obviously these were all primitive and quickly outstripped by American and other projects. But briefly they set a blueprint
@@medes5597 oh my.. the things that pass for knowledge nowadays... The problem with this reply, specifically, is that many, random, unsupported claims are made. Mr Mauchly's and Mr Eckert's biographies are known. There is the interloper, von Neumann, also, to consider - for it was his "draft report" that was the basis for EDSAC. The computer industry, as such, that is, an industry that builds and sells computers to anybody who wants one, began with UNIVAC - Eckert and Mauchly again, now freed from their contract with the US Army and the UNiversity of Pa...
the Motorola 68000 was still quite alot better than what Intel came up with at least until the Pentium
Except for the fact that the 4004 was introduced about 9 years earlier.
can i have permission to use the wget url command? 😂
The history of the 4004? Really?!?!?!?!? It was a weak, weak, weak CPU used in calculators. Blink your eyes and you would miss the lifespan of the 4004. The 4004 is to microprocessors as the 7489 is to RAM. However, the 4004 was a necessary step along the path to the 8080. I never really liked any of the Intel processors. The 8080 required multiple voltages to power it. No other processor at that time had that requirement. Then the 8085 came along…. it multiplexed the upper 8 address bits and the data bits on the same pins. Yuck. Then along comes the “brilliant” 8086 …. it used segment registers for addressing. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 No other microprocessor of that era used such a STUPID and counterproductive method to access memory. At that time, I would have chosen a Z80, 6502, 6800 or 68000 over any Intel microprocessor for any project. Especially the 68000. Programming on that at the time was as much fun as riding in a Lamborghini. At 8 MHz, the 68000 was faster than the seemingly omnipresent 4.77 and 6 MHz PC’s. In all fairness to Intel, the 8031/8051 microcontrollers were nice to work with. OKI even made a 8031 with a gold EPROM socket on top for a 2764. FWIW… I wrote machine code by hand on all the microprocessors listed above, except for the 4004. ( The highest nibble of all 68000 MOV instructions, was 4 ) I used an assembler for 8031/8051.
k.i.s.s. money causes unnecessary complexity
dont be doctor evil for money-law's sake, not even for God's sake slave to law
God gives best for free, lacking/empty is a lie from people-flesh
God gives perfect directly, not as-if through people
work (for money or any reason) is an insult, not a free gift, if you feel like earning something, wrong way
if it was not a truly free gift from God, your work was from flesh made, not God freely pre-made, pre-calculated, rom alu in-memory computation machine
One thing is for certain. Those that shout the loudest claiming their lives matter have the least ability to make their lives matter. I.Q. matters.
i wonder how many people fell a sleep during this :P i know i would of just like wen i went to church for the first time......ZzZzZzZzZz
because you don't know the topic and you don't know how works a cpu behind the stage. It is not a comment which want to be offensive. It is just normal for someone who works in a different field.
2 0 2 0 who
They don't need to worry about anyone stealing this video, it's boring af.
Yeah, once you know how everything was done is boring. Try to put yourself back to the time when there were no CPUs.
Boring like yo ugly mama
