I have had an interest in the 4004 for a number of years. I've acquired a
SIM4-01 that I've used over the years to read and program 1702A EPROMs. I've
recently also located a copy of Tom Pittman's resident 4004 assembler. Quite
remarkable when you realize that that it was a complete two pass ass

Yes, there were prior machines, but the 4004 is ARGUABLY the first

There were others, from TI, Fairchild, Four-Phase?, etc.
As usual, the label "FIRST" is questionable due to whether we count

For ME, hearing about the 4004 was the first solid assurance that tabletop
computers would become available. I heard some mentions of it from cow-
orkers at Goddard Space Flight Ce

As for microprocessors, there are MANY MANY micros that preceded the PC.
You can find a list here:

The 8088 is a late comer to the microprocessor world.

Did the 4004 chip start our interest in microcomputing? It is 50 today.
Classic computing begins earlier but for the masses, if they could be
called that in the early seventies, this was it. I hesitate in calling it
the first microprocessor as pc'ers will object.
Happy computing all.
