The 4-bit computer architecture is a microprocessor architecture that has a datapath width or a highest operand width of 4 bits or a nibble. These architectures typically have a matching register file with registers width of 4 bits.

Industry

Most of the first microprocessors during the early 1970s had 4-bit word length. Both the Intel4004 and the 4040 were 4-bits. The world's first single-chip microprocessor by Texas Instruments, the TMS1000, was also a 4-bit CPU. 4-bit word were proven to be very limiting and by 1974 there was a shift to larger architectures such as 8- and 12-bit architecture architectures.

Applications

Most 4-bit microprocessors were used almost exclusively in calculators and toys.
