	The Intel 4004 Home
		The signature is a particularly poignant testimony because, at the time of its birth, the first microprocessor, far from being considered a milestone by Intel's management, represented a diversion from the mainline business of the company which was memory chips.
		After having led from the beginning all of Intel's microprocessor development activity, at the time of his leaving Faggin was heading all of the MOS chip design activity, with the exception of dynamic memories.
		Intel’s management punished Faggin by disowning him of his many contributions, attributing most of his credits in the creation of the microprocessor to Ted Hoff, and by encouraging lesser contributors to grab a bigger share and play a bigger role than they did to diminish Faggin's legacy.

		Faggin was chief executive officer and president of the San Jose, Calif., developer of custom user interface solutions from 1987 to 1998, and has been chairman of the board since 1999.
		But Faggin's career is indelibly stamped with one event: He was the designer who in 1970-71 implemented the Intel 4004, arguably the first commercial microprocessor chip.
		Faggin: The process was important, because we were doing a really big chip — about 2,300 transistors — and some of the process innovations were critical to getting a usable die size.

	Intel Disowns Faggin
		To protect its interests, the company that has hugely benefited from the two major contributions Faggin gave to the world of technology and from his relentless dedication to work, tried to destroy his entire legacy.
		Intel tried to erase his name from the history of the microprocessor, (and the silicon gate), attributed his credits to Ted Hoff, did not mention his name to the press, encouraged lesser contributors to grab a bigger share of credit to take away from him, and boycotted any recognition to him.
		In its new museum it presents Ted Hoff as the inventor (click to see picture of museum display) of the microprocessor, after having agreed that he was a co-inventor in the first museum display.
