I’ve read with great interest, over the past short while, a few interesting articles on the history of the Intel 8008(officially released in April 1972) as it was the forerunner of what was to become the personal computer industry. And done with less than 4000 transistors. I saw one at a computer shop/store in Toronto in the latter 1970s’ but had no idea the seminal role it was to play in microcomputer history. Happy computing!

Hi Bill, I have not read the history of Intel lately but here are articles I have read starting with: https://www.techspot.com/article/1397-intel-8008-microprocessor/ Over the course of the last month or so this is what I’ve read: https://www.ithistory.org/db/hardware/intel-corporation/intel-8008 http://archive.computerhistory.org/resources/text/Oral_History/Intel_8008/I… https://gunkies.org/wiki/Intel_8008 https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&a… https://www.eejournal.com/article/happy-50th-birthday-to-the-8-bit-intel-80… These are articles on the Deep Net/Web that I’ve also read and may be hard to reach(Private PDFs): https://archive.computerhistory.org/resources/access/text/2012/07/102657982… https://www.righto.com/2017/02/reverse-engineering-surprisingly.html https://hackaday.com/2022/09/28/the-first-microcomputer-the-q1/ https://stevemorse.org/8086history/8086history.pdf https://www.sjsu.edu/people/robert.chun/courses/CS247/s4/M.pdf I hope these are of interest.
