May 4, 2011 · Ted Hoff was employee number 12 at Intel. Working under Silicon Valley icons Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore, he helped to invent the first ever microprocessor.
While there is disagreement over who invented the microprocessor, [2] [14] the first commercially available microprocessor was the Intel 4004, released as a single MOS LSI chip in 1971. [15] The single-chip microprocessor was made possible with the development of MOS silicon-gate technology (SGT). [ 16 ]
