I designed an address and data buss analyzer for its younger sibling, the 8008.

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.

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.
