The Intel 4004 was a 4-bit central processing unit (CPU) released by Intel Corporation in 1971.
It was the first complete CPU on one chip, and also the first commercially available microprocessor.
Such a feat of integration was made possible by the use of then new silicon gate technology allowing
a higher number of transistors and a faster speed than was possible before.
