1973.
Well, announced 73, officially released 74. It depends on what you call
"showing up". But the actual early production 3000 series packages
carry a 1974 copyright.
If Intel operated in 1973 the way it operated 5 or 6 years later,
extensive pre-production and in-house fab was done for selected parties
early on.
Both TI and Signetics offered the parts as well. Did Fairchild?
