The first microprocessor is a subject of heated debate. Below is a number of popular candidates:
 
 
 
* [[AiResearch]]'s [[MP944]]
 
* [[Intel]]'s {{intel|MCS-4/4004|4004}}
 
* [[Fairchild]]'s {{fairchild|PPS-25}}
 
* [[Texas Instruments]]' {{ti|TMX1795}}
 
 
 
With development starting in 1968 and completing around June of 1970, the [[MP944]] chipset is one of the earliest examples of a complete VLSI micro-computer system chipset. The [[MP944]] is 20-bit microprocessor designed by Garrett AiResearch specifically for the [[wikipedia:Grumman F-14 Tomcat|Grumman F-14 Tomcat]]'s Central Air Data Computer. The project remained classified for over 40 years. In early 1970 at least three additional microprocessors were already under development. Intel started working on the {{intel|4004}} in April 1970. According to a number of source, the Fairchild's PPS-25 was initially introduced in the second quarter 1971<ref>Ogdin, Jerry. "Microprocessor scorecard." Euromicro Newsletter 1.2 (1975): 43-77.</ref>. This would place it 2 quarters ahead of Intel's {{intel|4004}} which was introduced in November 1971. [[TI]] announced, albeit never actually commercialized, the {{ti|TMX1795}} which is effectively TI's own implementation of Intel's {{intel|8008}} - both were based on the same specifications drafted by the [[Computer Terminal Corporation]].

First in computer engineering is almost always a controversial topic. Historically, many products were often designed around the same time by different organizations and were introduced around the same time. Below is a list of "firsts".

First CMOS Microprocessor

The first CMOS microprocessor is the 8-bit RCA 1802 introduced in 1974.

First N-bit Microprocessor

Title Year Designer Processor Note
First 4-bit Microprocessor 1971 Intel 4004
Fairchild PPS-25
First 8-bit Microprocessor 1971/2 Intel 8008
TI TMX1795 Never commercialized.
First 16-bit Microprocessor 1973 National IMP-16
First 32-bit Microprocessor 1979 Bell Labs Bellmac-32 Never commercialized.
1981 Intel APX 432
First 64-bit Microprocessor 1991 MIPS Technologies R4000

First Dual-Core

Original COP2440 Block Diagram

The first known example of a commercial dual-core microprocessor is the COP II COP2404 (and 2440/41/42 variants) announced in 1981 and released the following year. The chip was a complete a single-chip dual-core processor.

First Neural Processor

The first commercial analog neural processor is the ETANN introduced by Intel. Below is a number of candidates for first commercial (digital/analog):

  • Intel ETANN
  • Fujitsu TDM Neurochip
  • Micro Devices MD-1220
  • American NeuraLogix NLX-420
