The Intel 8008 (" eight-thousand-eight " or " eighty-oh-eight ") is an early 8-bit microprocessor capable of addressing 16 KB of memory, introduced in April 1972. The 8008 architecture was designed by Computer Terminal Corporation (CTC) and was implemented and manufactured by Intel. While the 8008 was originally designed for use in CTC's Datapoint 2200 programmable terminal, an agreement ...
The Intel 8008 was the world’s first 8-bit programmable microprocessor and only the second microprocessor from Intel. Introduced in April 1972, only five months after Intel had introduced the first programmable microprocessor, the 4-bit 4004, the 8008 had been developed on a separate track and had very different specifications. It featured 50 percent more transistors, eight times the clock ...
Intel's groundbreaking 8008 microprocessor was produced over 50 years ago, the ancestor of the x86 processor family that you may be using right now.

The 8008 was a chip architecture that Computer Terminal Corp. (later renamed Datapoint Corp.) requested that intel (and Texas Instruments) build. At the time, CTC was intel's largest customer using their 1103 (?) shift register RAM for the Datapoint 3300, a glass teletype.
What was once considered a bad business venture, the 8008’s lasting legacy went on to drive the technological world we live in today.
