Alternate Timelines

Scenarios about 'microprocessors'

The development of integrated circuits containing the functions of a central processing unit on a single semiconductor chip, first introduced commercially in the early 1970s. Microprocessors revolutionized computing by dramatically reducing size, cost, and power requirements while increasing processing capabilities, enabling the personal computer revolution and forming the technological foundation for modern digital devices from smartphones to embedded systems.
