People interested in this topic might consult
"IEEE Micro" December 1996
which contains a number of papers celebrating the 25th year of the 4004. The papers are:
The History of the 4004: by Faggin, Hoff, Mazor, & Shima (the people who invented it)
A Participant's Perspective: by Gary Danniels (the "father" of the 6805) The Microprocessor Today: by Michael Slater The Future of Microprocessors: by Albert Yu The Microprocessor's Impact on Society: by John Markoff
...A very good issue of a very good journal!
