Intel 4004

The 4004 is a 4 bits CPU in a 16 pin package containing 2300 transistors making up the arithmetic and logic unit and the control unit. Its clock speed is 108 - 740kHz with an instruction set of 8 bits addressing up to 1 Kb of program memory and up to 4 Kb of data memory (as separate entities). It also had sixteen 4-bit (or eight 8-bit) general purpose registers, and an instruction set containing 45 instructions.

Intel 4040

The 24 pins 4040 was used in the early games, test, development, and control machines. containing14 instructions, larger stack (8 level), 8K program space, 8 more registers, and interrupt abilities including shadows of the first 8 registers.

Intel 8008

The first complex 8-bit data bus microprocessor designed for use as a terminal controller and was a TTL logic chips with seven 14-bit registers and 16-bit address bus.

Intel 8080

Created by the Intel 1974 by Federico Faggin, his last chip before he went to Zilog). Used in the Altair 8800, the first widely-known personal computer, the first widely accepted microprocessor which created the microprocessor market. The 8080 had a 16 bit address bus and an 8 bit data bus. Internally it had seven 8 bit registers, A-E, H, L - pairs BC, DE and HL could be combined as 16 bit registers, a 16 bit stack pointer to memory which replaced the 8 level internal stack of the 8008, and a 16 bit program counter. It also had several I/O ports - 256 of them, so I/O devices could be hooked up without taking away or interfering with the addressing space, and a signal pin that allowed the stack to occupy a separate bank of memory

Intel 8085

The 8085 was the follow-on from the 8080A processor and it was Intel's first 5 volt microprocessor, 100% software compatible with the 8080A with increased systems performance. The initial 8085's were based on NMOS technology and the later "H" versions were based on HMOS technology. 

Zilog Z80

Z80 microprocessors created by Federico Faggin's www.intel4004.co following on from the 8080 with an 8-bit CPU object-code. The Z80 includes full set of 8080 registers and instructions, and supports 8080 interrupts. In addition to that, the Z80 has many enhancements, 80 new instructions, including block transfer, bit and string manipulation instructions. 2 new index registers and a duplicate set of general-purpose and status registers. New types of interrupts for Z80 and non-Z80 peripheral devices. Single +5V voltage. The Zilog Z80 microprocessor was second sourced by many companies. Clones of this processor were manufactured in East Germany, Romania and Soviet Union. Computers: Radio Shack TRS-80 Models 1 - 4, Sinclair ZX81, Commodore 128D (also had 6502 CPU), Franklin Ace 1200 (also had 6502 CPU), Osborne 1, KayPro I, KayPro II, etc
