Now, how to make it fit in a car.


Fifty years ago, the microprocessor Intel 8080 appeared in the USA; it was developed by two employees of the company of the same name, Federico Faggin and Masatoshi Shima. The chip worked in the eight-bit world and was suitable for use in small computers. At the end of 1974, the Altair 8800 was introduced, which used the Intel 8080; it triggered the microcomputer revolution.
The new microprocessor contained more than 4,500 transistors and had a clock speed of two megahertz. With 290,000 operations per second, it was ten times faster than the Intel 8008.
