Hi everyone, author here. Didn't expect to be on the front page of HN! I've long been fascinated by the early days of the microprocessor. A lot has been written about the 4004 but it's always seemed to me that Bob Noyce doesn't get enough credit. He's always there in the background making things happen. I'm planning to write a series of short posts on related topics - some more technical in nature - others less so. The 4005, 8008 and competing architectures of the time will be first up. Any ideas and feedback very welcome. PS It's on Substack as it the only tool that has managed to cure my procrastination.
