1955 + 16 = 1971. That means they based their design on a chip that wasn't commercially available until the middle of 1972.
- roundandround 4y agoThe 8008 architecture was essentially in use before it was bought by Intel and made into a finished chip, I.e.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datapoint_2200 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datapoint_2200 Though this could also just be referring to the start date of a project that ultimately was implemented with an 8008.
