[cctalk] Re: Intel 4004(sp?)

Ibad an intellectual 4 offered to me one time that had a 4040 in it. Is t a 4040 like a 5 but more of the aux chips integrated? Is instruction set the same?

It didn't typically have as much RAM but one could write and run code on it. As for the F14 processor. For the purpose used, it was likely a DSP. More intended to do matrix multiplication using adds and shifts. This would be similar to Intel's early try at a DSP. The F14 processor was said to control the flight surfaces. Like the Intel 2920 ( not to be confused with the AMD bit slice part) it likely ran tight loops of signal processing operations using tables of lookup coefficients. Dwight
