One of my friends (now deceased) was a friend of Andy Grove and got to buy Intel stock for $1 a share in 1970.

Needless to say he did pretty well with that investment.

Extra credit question: who was the first customer?

Answer: Nippon Calculating Machine Co.

Most of the wealth in today’s world can be traced back to this IC.

And
A 64-Core TR 3990X Is Faster Than A 16-Core 5950X
AMD’s 64-core, with 128 threads, Ryzen ThreadRipper 3990X desktop PC processor is considered the world’s fastest CPU in 2021. The CPU features a 2.9 GHz base clock and a 4.3 GHz max boost clock that facilitates multitasking and fast load times. It is AMD’s newest CPU and the world’s first HEDT (High-End Desktop) processor, designed for high-end 3D rendering as well as video professionals and visual effects. The 64-core TR 3990X is best suited for motherboards with sTRX4 TRX40 sockets, featuring PCle 4.0 connectivity capabilities.

I did a couple of jobs with the 8085. Assembly is fun!

My first intel chips were 8086/88, 4.77 MHz, running DOS 1.1

I don’t have an ARM Desk/Lap-top - yet, but I do like my pocket sized devices. I could cook an egg on my intel based MBPro when that chip gets spun up.

The operating temperature specs for Intel 4004 were limited. Had to wait for the RCA 1802 CMOS microprocessor to come on the market before I could use a microprocessor in the products I was designing way back then.
