The '''8008''' (pronounced "''eighty-oh-eight''") was an {{arch|8}} [[microprocessor]] designed by [[Intel]] and introduced in April of 1972. The 8008, which was part of the {{intel|MCS-8}}, operated at 500 kHZ, had 8-bit data words, and could address 16KB of memory (14-bits [[program counter|PC]]). Originally commissioned by [[Datapoint Corporation]] (then Computer Terminal Corporation) for their [[Datapoint 2200]], by the time the 8008 was ready it no longer met CTC's requirements. Intel retained the rights to market the chip independently.

The {{intel|mcs-8/8008-1|8008-1}} is a faster version of the 8008 operating at 300 kHz higher frequency. The chip is otherwise identical.
== History ==
{{main|intel/mcs-8#History|l1=MCS-8#History}}
The 8008 was introduced in April of 1972 after the Computer Terminal Corporation (CTC) lost interest in the chip when it failed to meet their performance requirements.
== ISA ==
{{main|intel/mcs-8/isa|l1=8008 ISA}}
The 8008 has seven levels of call stack, seven registers, and [[intel/mcs-8/isa#Listing|48 instructions]].
