It soon became obvious to Intel and its competitors that there were almost limitless number of applications for microprocessors. A big advance came in 1974 with Intel’s 8080 chip, the first true general purpose microprocessor.
It is much more highly ntegrated chip than its predecessors, with about 10 times the performance. It could execute about 290,000 operations a second and could address 64K bytes of memory. Both the 4004 and 8008 utilized the P-channel MOS technology, whereas the 8080 used the innovative N-channel MOS process yielding vast gains in speed, power, capacity and density.
What’s more the 8080 required only 6 support chips for operation as opposed to 20 with the 8008. It consisted of 60,000 transistors and worked at clock rate of 2 MHz.
