The history of the first microprocessor is murky and ill-defined. For years, the Intel 4004 was generally accepted to hold the title. However, in 1998, the historical record was rewritten as the existence of an earlier system was revealed to the world.
In this video, we'll learn about the MP944, and why many now consider it the first microprocessor. Regardless of whether it was or not, it was extremely complex for its day.
