  • Abstract
    The MF7114 was an early 4-bit single-chip microprocessor designed and built by Microsystems International between 1970 and 1972. The MF7114´s genesis is the design work on Intel´s first microprocessor, the 4004. Exploring the MF7114 microprocessor´s development helps to gain a more complete historical perspective on the formation of the microprocessor and microcomputing industries.
