Misleading title when the content says things like.
"Federico Faggin was assigned to design the chip, and in nine months came up with working prototypes"...
"Faggin recalled that when he began implementing the microprocessor, Hoff seemed to have lost interest in the project, and rarely interacted with him."
Kind of having a title like: "How Steve Jobs invented the first commercial personal computer" and then inside the article saying actually "Steve Wozniak designed the motherboard, power supply, video interface...."

His account of the events are recorded in his book Silicon https://siliconthebook.com/ https://siliconthebook.com/
