Certainly the F8 qualifies as a single chip CPU.
I thought the F8 was two-chip (ALU and control logic on two different
chips). Mostek made a microprocessor version of the F8 (3840?).
We haven't established a precise definition for
microprocessor, but what
you seem to be talking about is a microcontroller, which is a complete
system on a chip (i.e., CPU, memory, and I/O).
My definition is ALU and control logic on a single chip.
