The Intel 4004 microprocessor is claimed to be first produced in the world because after Intel's research conducted in 1971, research and production of processors for computers began to grow. The Intel 4004 is a 4 bit processor. In the following year, Intel made the 8-bit first (i8008). Then i8088 Intel develops processor (16 bit internal bus, 8 bit external bus) and was chosen by IBM to build a personal computer (PC) was first released in 1981.
Intel's first processor recalled that produced this company, the Intel 4004 processor. Intel company, founded Gordon E Moore and Robert N Noyce in 1968 it created the first processor in 1971.
In 1985, Intel introduced the Intel 386 32 bit microprocessor that can work on multiple software programs at the same time. In 1989, Intel i860 processor becomes the first commercial microprocessor has more than 1 million transistors.
In 1993, Intel launched the Intel Pentium processors that are part of the multimedia revolution. In 1998, Intel Pentium II Xeon processor with high power and high-end workstations and servers launched. The next year Intel launched the Intel Pentium III and Pentium III Xeon processor as the next generation of performance.
In 2001, Intel Itanium and Intel Xeon processors launched by bringing better performance for servers and workstations. In 2003, Intel launched the Intel Centrino mobile technology for the first time gives power to the battery and integrated wireless LAN internet connection, making it easier on mobile devices.
In 2006, Intel launched the second generation of microprocessors that Intel's Xeon quad-core processor 530 and Intel Core Duo extreme make multicore era trends. The next year, Intel launched the Intel Core Duo Extreme and Intel Xeon processors with 45-nanometer fabrication and Hi-K metal gate silicon technology that redefine the transistor technology. In 2008, the Intel Atom family of processors with the lowest power, present the internet platform for mobile devices such as netbooks and nettops.
In terms of power consumption, current laptops that use Intel processors only requires a very energy efficient.
Intel called the second generation of Intel processors because it has a much better performance than previous processors production. In 2011 this, if you want to compare with the Intel 4004 which produced 40 years ago, the Intel Core like a car that can go with a speed of 20.6 kilometers per hour. Compare with a car that can only be traveling at 5 meters per hour. That's the comparison of these two generations of microprocessors.
No wonder if compared with the number of transistors that are on it, the Intel 4004 had 2300 transistors, while the second generation of Intel Core processors have nearly one billion transistors on it.
