	fire in the valley by freiberger and swaine
		To Ted Hoff, this was an affront to common sense.
		Hoff could follow the reasoning, but nevertheless had a hard time swallowing the idea of building a special-purpose device when a general-purpose one was just as easy Ñ and no more expensive Ñ to build.
		Hoff wasn't the only person ever to have thought of building a computer on a chip, but he was the first to launch a project that actually got carried out.

	Inventor of the Week: Archive
		Hoff's breakthrough was to design a set of chips that worked together to perform a device's functions.
		The CPU Hoff had in mind was the size of a thumbnail and contained 2,300 transistors.
		Despite its small size, Hoff's CPU had the same computing power as computers that cost thousands of dollars more with central processing units the size of a large desk.

		Ted Hoff was the first to recognize that Intel's new silicon-gated MOS technology might make a single-chip CPU possible if a sufficiently simple architecture could be developed.
		Hoff realized that the Busicom's 12-chip design -- separate chips for keyboard scanning, display control, printer control, and other functions -- could not meet the cost objectives for the project.
		Hoff, Mazor, and Faggin were involved in Intel's second and third generation CPUs, the 8008 and 8080.

	2004 SVEC Hall of Fame
		Ted Hoff earned a doctorate from Stanford stayed on as a research associate until 1968, when he joined the newly launched Intel Corp. One of Silicon Valley’s most dramatic and momentous episodes then commenced.
		Hoff realized that a general-purpose processor could be built—on a single chip—and that all the specialized functions could be achieved solely by software instructions running on the processor.
		Hoff has served on advisory and governing bodies of numerous organizations, and he is currently Chief Technologist of Teklicon, Inc., a consulting firm.

	Marcian Ted Hoff
		An agreement was signed in February 6, 1970, and INTEL assigned the project to Ted Hoff.
		Familiar with the PDP-8 minicomputer from Digital, Ted Hoff found that a better approach would be to pack enough of the logic of a minicomputer in a single chip so to perform minor tasks as the ones required by a calculator and other similar devices.
		After one year of development by Ted Hoff, Stanley Mazor and Federico Faggin of INTEL, and with the cooperation of Masatoshi Shima, the author of Busicom specifications, the INTEL 4004 4-bit microprocessor was born in 1970.
