A Brief History of the Microprocessor
The following article describes the evolution of the microprocessor which focused on the technology, the companies and the people behind the invention.
It begins with a brief history before the Intel 4004, then describes the designing of the chip.
It follows the microprocessor through its iterations to RISC, parallel processing and to today's super-RISC designs. (Footnoted references are indicated by a + sign.)

Decisive Aspects in the Evolution of Microprocessors
The incessant demand for higher performance has provoked a dramatic evolution of the microarchitecture of high performance microprocessors.
In this paper we focus on major architectural developments which were introduced for a more effective utilization of instruction level parallelism (ILP) in commercial, performance oriented microprocessors.
We show that designers increased the throughput of the microarchitecture at the instruction...

Microcontrollers A Brief History of Early Microprocessors
The first microprocessor was developed by what was then a small company called Intel (short for Integrated Electronics) in the early 1970s.
The client, a Japanese company called Busicon, declined to buy the chipset and Intel, faced with a development cost and no customer, decided to market the chipset as a 'general purpose' microprocessing system for use in applications where digital logic chips would have been used.
The chipset was a...

Great moments in microprocessor history
The evolution of the modern microprocessor is one of many surprising twists and turns.
Who invented the first micro? Who had the first 32-bit single-chip design? You might be surprised at the answers.
This article shows the defining decisions that brought the contemporary microprocessor to its present-day configuration.

Microprocessor Types and Specifications
This sample chapter covers the different types of processor chips that have been used in personal computers since the first PC was introduced almost two decades ago. These sections provide a great deal of technical detail about these chips and explain why one type of CPU chip can do more work than another in a given period of time.
