For [Craig Andrews] it’s the 8085, and after many years away from the processor he’s finally been able to return to it and recreate his first ever design using it. The SBC-85 is not wire ...

There is some dispute as to which company invented the microprocessor, and we’ll talk about that further down. But who invented the first commercially available microprocessor? That honor goes ...

The integrated chip greatly improved the use for transistors, but it could only do what it was originally programmed to do. It couldn't change programs, and it certainly couldn't remember anything ...

Technically a type of microprocessor, Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is capable of rendering graphics for display on an electronic device. The GPU was introduced to the wider market in 1999 and is ...

RISC Microprocessors that use a reduced instruction set computer (RISC) design process a few simple instructions rather than many complex ones in order to speed operations. CISC Microprocessors that ...

1972: Gary Kildall writes PL/M, the first high-level programming language for the Intel microprocessor. Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak are building and selling "blue boxes" in Southern California in ...

Microprocessor and IC programmers, compilers, and debuggers are programs that translate high-level language codes into assembly (machine) code, or track and correct errors (bugs) in program code. Many ...

A similar parallel haunts the first microprocessor. Grumman had contracted with Garrett AiResearch to build a chipset for the F-14A's Central Air Data Computer. Parts were delivered in 1970, and not a ...

Intel created the progenitor of the X86 architecture back in 1971 with the four-bit 4004 microprocessor, the first single chip ... This was followed by the 8-bit 8008, the 8080, and the 8085 chips ...
