gizmodo.com — This week marks the 40th anniversary of Intel, the people who likely made the CPU in your computer. To mark the occasion, the people at PC Magazine have put together a pretty comprehensive timeline showing every major generation of Intel processor from the first one to the current Core 2 Quad and Atom series processors.

  • BennyGreenberg, on 07/19/2008, -0/+4To Think I remember the release of the 4k Color Computer By Tandy/Radio Shack
  • Ladymaggic, on 07/20/2008, -1/+1Ah!!! I did a Computer Course in 1980...so there were labs then at Monash University.

    Then in the 80's I became Intels first Online Florist...Glenhuntly Creative Florist.
    I would love someone to find some of the links from there as I don't have any photos from the past. I sent flowers all over Australia and the World simply by finding florists and emailing, or ringing orders through to them.
    I think I was called Maggic then, and became Ladymaggic when I bought my first website which was Angelfire..then became tripod..then became Lycos.

    Ah!! I cannot remember the computers being slow....and they were faster than the typewriters and word processoers they replaced... Grin!!!

    I met many friends on the AOL Chatlines....and still have them too around the world.

    Ah!! I remember Intel ...I wasted many hours on Intel and was a computer freak even then....
    Memories....
    Wonder if someone can find my shop on Intel....Glenhuntly Creative Florist..then, Creative Florist of Melbourne

    Then Interflora joined the ranks too...

    I remember Intel very well indeed....
  • BlankVerse, on 07/20/2008, -0/+2Why go to gizmondo first (for their minimal amount of commentary) when you can go directly to the PC Mag article:

    Read it:
    http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,2325988,00.as ...
    Digg it:

    What was my first Intel processor?

    It's not even in the article. It was either an 8086 or 80186 in the first Compaq desktop, the Compaq Deskpro.

    My first computer (that I programmed on)?

    A PDP-8.
