Federico developed several design innovations at Intel that made it possible to fit the microprocessor in one chip, including new methodology for random logic chip design using silicon gate technology<ref>Faggin. Il padre del chip intelligente, Angelo Gallippi, 2002, 88-7118-149-2</ref>. Faggin developed the 4004 testing tool, chip and logic design concurrently with the layout of all the chips of the entire MCS-4 system. |
At the time, Intel was only known for their memory chips. On 15 November 1971, they publicly announced the first commercial microprocessor in the 15th issue of [[Wikipedia:Electronic News|Electronic News]]. The prophetic ad read: ''"Announcing a new era in integrated electronics"''. The chip was designed by Federico Faggin, Ted Hoff and Masatoshi Shima; it received U.S. Patent [http://www.google.com/patents/US3821715 #3,821,715]. | At the time, Intel was only known for their memory chips.
