jan 1, 1971 - Microprocessor aka CPU

Description:

1) The Intel 8080 was the first popular 8-bit microprocessor

2) It could only represent numbers between −128 to +127, which was very small, so it was only used for control applications

3) This version of the CPU was a stepping stone into 16, 32, and 64-bit microprocessors which are much faster
