The 4004 microprocessor, officially inaugurated in November 1971, was a slow start for the company, but helped paving the way for their technology today. In the modern day, machines, software, computers, and the rest of the world are relying on those small chips (not limited, the supply of all these things very limited in the global market) — since computers, smartphones, games consoles, etc. have a tendency to fail, relying on these small chips. Copyright: Intel That is one of the things that I find most interesting in the 4004 is the number stacked up to today. The Intel 4004 sported 2300 transistors, compared to billions you’d find on the current-gen Intel Core processor. On the Intel 4004, the speed of the transmission meter was 104 meters. Intel says its current chips have circuit lines ranging from 45 to 32 nanometers. For those interested in learning more about the Intel 4004, please visit this page.
