[[Datapoint Corporation]], then Computer Terminal Corporation (CTC), was looking to create a more powerful machine in mid-1969. CTC was convinced that to achieve that they would need to create a more complex integrated circuit as using [[discrete logic]] would not meet their desired specifications. After having the basic architecture for that device thought up, CTC arranged a meeting with Bob Noyce, President of Intel and the President of Texas Instruments to discuss the device concept. Each one was given a pre-drawn basic schematic of the device. | [[Datapoint Corporation]], then Computer Terminal Corporation (CTC), was looking to create a more powerful machine in mid-1969.

Intel had a working specs for the {{intel|8008}} by January or February of 1970<ref name="transcript" />. While it is unknown how much of the Intel specs TI got to see from CTC, Ted Hoff claimed that it's clear they've copied a fair bit pointing out that initially the 8008 had a bug with the RESTART instruction which should switch execution to the interrupt handler and execute CALL to save the stack point. In the original plans this part was missing - same was true with Gary Boone's patent. | Intel had a working specs for the {{intel|8008}} by January or February of 1970<ref name="transcript" />.

<blockquote>Yeah, but there's not a question that even in 1970, '71 it was a race. I mean, really, I mean, if you look at TI, for example, we helped them it looks like. It looked like, but still they were developing an eight-bit processor which was essentially the {{intel|8008}}. And they came out in April/May timeframe with that product. We heard-- I heard from Vic Poor that it never worked. But TI claims that it did work. In any event, whether it worked or not, it was later than the {{intel|4004}} by one or two months. That tells you how much execution was important to being first in the market.</blockquote> | <blockquote>Yeah, but there's not a question that even in 1970, '71 it was a race.
