Shame the first 30s mix up the definitions of microprocessor and CPU. All microprocessors are CPUs and the first commercial microprocessor was Intel. However CPU just describes the core compute hardware, the logic gates to make the fetch-decode-execute loop, APU and such. It does not describe whether it is a single item, or a bunch of hardware taking up a room. Not all CPUs are Mircroprocessors, as in it is all one one "computer chip".
I was an ASIC Engineer thru the 80's an 90's. In the late 90's Intel approach me about employment. Their salary offer was half of what I making at the time. I told them no and why and they're response was "but we're Intel."
It's fascinating to realize that Fairchild Semiconductor is The O.G. startup that define the 'startup culture' as we know today. Yes, every company has a starting point (either big or small), but the contemporary term of "start up" as a culture (especially in tech industry) is an entirely different story. For example, agriculture has been around since tens of thousands of years ago, but modern Agricultural Revolution (between mid 17th to mid 19th century) made it much more EFFECTIVE and EFFICIENT because of the increasing number of labor and land availability. This is parallel with the current tech industry. The discovery of silicon as semiconductor makes everything much more efficient. And history has told us that everything will eventually be replaced with a more efficient version of that thing (mostly on economical standpoint). But this idea of "startups" is going to be problematic if we glorify and romanticize it too much. It'll create another bubble.
Fairchild was the start of Silicon Valley. It wasn't the start of the start up culture. That goes back 850 years to the start of commercial banks then termed money lenders. One could even argue that it really goes back to the start of capitalism 3000 years ago where individuals would go into business for themselves selling food, wares or services en masse. Like, everyone did it. Fairchild didn't invent start up culture, it was itself a part of start up culture. Certainly start up culture was around in tech long before Fairchild. Think Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Edison, Nikola Tesla, etc. All either their own start ups that turned into famous ground breaking companies that are still with us today
And the Fairchild compressor is still one of the most sought after pieces of recording outboard gear in audio engineering. No computer has ever been able to recreate its tone.

Not a word about all failed Intel projects either (iAPX432, i860, i960, Itanium, ...).
Intel and the rest doesn't measure the same way. Intel 10nm roughly equal to AMD 7nm. It's visible at the transistor density level. Anyway, intel need more fabs (like all others) to meet demands, so using others infra is what they should've done years ago

It's always so disheartening to hear that if you look back far enough behind every major human achievement there was a terrible person who everyone despised but without them it may never have happened.
I'm a lifelong technology enthusiast who became interested in electronics as a child growing up in the 1970s. My electronic technician career began in 1985 after completing an associate degree program in electronics technology from DeVry Institute of Technology which later became DeVry University. The history of the CPU, microprocessor, integrated circuit, Fairchild Semiconductor and Intel, as presented here, is pretty accurate. A well made documentary to quickly present the birth and evolution of modern digital electronics.
Not really too many mistakes and omissions. For example: Lilienfield had working transistors (FETs) as early as 1927, and a patent in 1925. He was Austro-Hungarian. Also Fairchild as a company has not existed since 2016 when bought by On Semiconductor (used to be Motorola). John B Goodenough was instrumental in the invention of RAM. He should also have been mentioned. And last but not least AMD is Advanced Micro Devices. Those are the technical screw-ups not the grammatical ones like "could not be understated".instead of "could not be overstated".
How do they have 3 million subscribers and have such terrible audio quality? Seriously, spending $100 on a decent mic with a pop filter and soundproofing in their recording area could make it sound almost professional. Hell, even just hang some blankets on the walls or something.
@@oldskooldriver9379 have you ever dealt with modern chips? You no longer bring pure logic on that chip, it is more like designing a very power efficient city of logic skyscrapers. It is all about bringing the energy consumption down and spreading in such a way that you won't overheat. Also, since sub 10mm manufacturing is such a diva, you have to plan in that some of your skyscrapers won't work due to manufacturing errors and plan accordingly. Btw. that is why there is always a cheap GPU for every expensive one.

My father was a young engineer with IBM in the 1950’s when he was recruited by Shockley to join his venture in California. My father declined Shockley’s offer and stayed with IBM. I think he made the right decision.

@@ravenkk4816 well modular is the word you're looking for, yes they're in 14nm size but there is moderate difference between size and performance between them which is why intel is struggling and amd is surging.

I worked at Intel, from 1978-80 and stood in line behind Ted Hoff, at a scrap pc board sale that the company held for engineers and technicians to get rid of the "dog" boards. (Broken). He was in line in front of me and talking to a younger engineer, whose posture told me he held Ted in high regard. So I consciously took a mental photo of his face and name. A few years ago I saw his face in a web page. That's him, I thought. It was a link to an obituary. I remembered his name too, so I read the article and it said that he was the creator of the first microprocessor. My gut told me that I was standing in front of greatness and it was wonderful to finally learn who he was. I was a test and repair technician working on their microprocessor development system. I fixed the boards I bought. 🙂
It's unbelievable that all of this is made just by a single person. I mean how can a single person be capable of doing this much work for a video. There's the editing, recording and all that shit. And yet the content quality doesn't decline at all. Man keep on with your good work cuz we all love u and will support you.
This is actually happening. I am currently finishing up a PhD in computer systems, and doing research on CPU design, and I can tell you that NO ONE wants to go work for Intel. Even if they offer six figures. The company currently has a reputation for just trying to milk their legacy products and buy up companies to kill competition. Look at what they are doing in the server market- every time a competing product comes out, they buy up the company and warehouse the product on the books. AMD is making some progress right now in that field, and Apple as well. However, it took huge amounts of money for those companies to overcome the near monopoly Intel has on the market. The new CEO they just hired has been talking about this problem in fact, so I have hope for the company if he can follow through. If he can get the brains back in the company, there can surely succeed again.
Same as Boeing, it's weird that engineers get kicked out when companies succeed, afterall it's the brilliant product engineering that made them succeed in the first place. Seems weird that they easily forget this
I used to have Atari2600 ..then a Commodore 16 then a Commodore 64 i am lucky to have grown up knowing these machines ....I wish i could see just a short 200 years in the future to see how far we get .
AMD has left Intel in the rearview. It will soon be "who is Intel?" if they don't get it together. I use the threadripper and it beats out the i9 that my wife has. Houdini and Adobe products run so much smoother and faster rendering on the AMD.
I wouldn't be 'laughing' at a company such as Intel, given that YOU have done next to zero in your life, and they invented the practical CPU chip. All company fortunes go up and down regularly. Stop falling for bullshit tripe, and try to find yourself a life before it's gone.
When a video with a good title starts with a complete nonsense statement: Stopped watching. - Intel invented the "CPU on a chip" - CPUs existed before - NO, NO, NO - applications did not required customized circuit boards. Programmable computers (von Neumann machines) existed from the very start. Von Neumann machines and custom circuits always co-existed and still co-exist today. - Intels innovation was about cost reduction. The single chip CPU was much much less powerful in those days than the mainframe and multi chip CPUs.
Yes, I noticed the same thing, and put a comment in immediately. I also watched the rest of the video. And I think it's actually pretty good, despite that mistake. Heck, this is really a stupid mistake. I just looked up CPU in the dictionary. It says "abbreviation for central processing unit". Nothing about it being on a chip.
The point is that single-chip microprocessors caused an important advance in what kinds of things it made sense to do with general-purpose processors instead of using custom circuits designed for specific tasks.
I honestly thought you must have had a production team this whole time I've watched you. Amazing content and editing, really. Congrats on the 3M subs, well deserved.
to be honest, this is definitely not news Intel is falling behind. What's shocking is that they can keep doing that to the point t hat ColdFusion publish a video about it. This means something.
I feel like the craziest part of this is the fact that they went from computers the size of a fridge straight to these tiny chips, with nothing in between.
Not quite. There's an intermediate step. Mainframes had CPUs the size of a refrigerator. Then came *minicomputers* (now midrange systems) that shrunk the CPU to several boards inside of a unit the size of five pizza boxes mounted on a rack inside a cabinet of the size of a refrigerator.
@@1960ARC Don't care about your storybook. This vid is about tech development. The comment was about tech. There was never any need to shove myth and magic into this.
@@cobra6481 I was giving a response to the crazy aspect which is not technology. Not liking my comment is your problem not mine. It was a snake that made man fall into sin.
Intel was an admired company in my days and still it is as it revolutionized the way we do our job simple from complex. Chips is a fascinating product. India does not have one decent manufacturer and to grow as an economy we need semiconductor industry to be established here. The story is inspiring like it is with apple Macintosh. Lets see the next episode. Cheers.
But as days go by more slice of the pie is taken from them. Laptop manufacturers are going AMD right now means in the future more slice would be taken from intel. Intel have already lost a big chunk of the pie and with the rise of the ARM chips like the M1 it would put intel into a deeper trouble if they don't make a move right now. Market share has no relation to being a laughing stock, I mean everybody thinks EA is an evil company yet people still buy from them.
Dagogo, there are few things as reassuring as a delivery as sober as yours. Thank you and congratulations, for grasping credibility so well. I look forward to reading your book.
Well, they were purposely slowing down what they're actually able to do so that they would be able to produce chips for longer. They were worried about Moore's Law. It backfired because the rest of the industry caught up and overtook them.
@@ashdoglsu no.... that was AMD that posted record profits.... . did you watch Intels last investor meeting??? where they said they could not compete till 2022, if not 2023? . or the investor meeting ~2 years ago..... where they said 10nm was delayed 6 months and then the meeting ~1 year ago.... where they said 10nm was delayed 1 year and then the meeting ~6 months ago.... where they said 10nm was delayed 1.5 years.....and 7nm is delayed 1 year.... . like.... you cant lie at an investor meeting..... so when intel says "we cant compete till 2022".... THEY MEAN IT!
@@ashdoglsu and why is it that the first 3 people they called to replace the current CEO declined? surely if Intel was so competitive and profitable.... people would be JUMPING at the chance to be the CEO!!! . and why would the CEO be leaving in the first place???
My respect for Intel has increased multifold after watching this video. I am thankful for the contribution it has made to the Computer Community but I will still go on buying for AMD because the present is different from history.
Just because some company/person/organisation was great in the past doesn't mean that you need to keep supporting them forever. While it's nice to acknowledge the past, it's the present and future that needs to be focused on, at least in my opinion. (This is an opinion that I try to get across to people, even though it could cost me personally!)
I work on an AMD Ryzen 5, and AMD is hands down the better manufacturer. They are undervalued, advanced, and put more efforts into their products rather than marketing, the perfect combination for a worthy purchase.
11th gen prices were just leaked and it seems that processors are worse than 10th gen and 50% more expensive... they're cashing in HARD because they sell out anyways, and Intel is laughing all the way to the bank... 😁
The only way Intel can rise again is by adapting RISC V architecture. When the whole world was moving to ARM architecture, Intel was still betting on X86.
Forget it. The previous CEO Paul Otellini threw away Intels chance at mobile: www.extremetech.com/computing/156126-intel-couldve-powered-the-original-iphone-but-decided-against-it-says-ex-ceo-otellini
Some of the best content on YT period! And a salute for including advertising thats relevant to the subject instead of a hard left like most channels do.
young kids of todays culture laughing at intel need to watch this, and see truly how they changed the entire world. perhaps the peak of innovation and genius for their time
The important part about the first microprocessor chip, is that it followed the Von Neumann architecture. Though the 4004 was only a 4-bit machine, it's programming followed a method understood by mainframe programming. Bill Gate's wrote the BASIC interpreter on a mainframe, to that could run on an Intel 8080, that was used on the MITs Altair. The first personal computer, on that Popular Electronics magazine cover. So even though the first microprocessor was a revolution, it more importantly wasn't too much of a revolution ! Any engineer that understood the inner workings of a mainframe computer, understood the first microprocessor.
Actually they did. Ever since they introduced their own 64 bit processors, they use a RISC processor at its core and emulate the x86 ISA through firmware (i.e. the "microcode", which isn't actual microcode, just that internal processor's instruction set ;-)
"The impact of the invention of the CPU can't be understated." This should of course be "can't be overstated". Not sure if there's any way for you to change that part of the video. If not, I'm sure people still understand what you mean.
@@KentoCommenT It's a stylistic device called litotes. Instead of saying "like", you say not unlike for emphasis. In this case it's saying "can't be understated", instead of saying "can be overstated" which sounds obviously wrong. "Can't be understated" is technically correct but redundant, because it assumes people are understating intel's impact in the first place, which isn't true.
Actually you’re wrong. To say “it can’t be understated” in the provided context is to say that understating it’s impact would be incorrect. Which is grammatically correct. For example “You can’t say no to a great deal”.
Just to put things straight. The intel 4004 was pathetically weak compared to computers of the time. It wasn't really until the mid 80s that microprocessors started to surpass the big room filling computers of the 60s in terms of performance.
4004 was designed for calculator and not very powerful, but it quickly changed. By 8085 in late 70s, microprocessors has become really powerful. We used to run 2048 port Central Office switches on a bunch of 8085 @ 12MHz in late 80s, quite comfortably!
@@goofybits8248 yes but they were still 8-bit devices. I know there 16 and 32-bit microprocessors appearing by the late 70s but they very weak numerically, no floating point, basic scaler architectures. So you're right that they were perfect for control tasks but right up until the late 80s there was still a market for big scientific computer because microprocessors wouldn't cut it.
I still have the Intel catalog with the 4004, 8008 (8 bit version if 4004), 8080, 8080A, and 64 bit memory chips. And I remember my professor at University of Michigan tell his first hand story of the Eniac computer (he had worked on it).
When occasionally creating such sentences it feels really satisfying and for a moment I hoped that it was your creation. The quote is from G. Michael Hopf. Probably it fits many extraordinary companies of our time, like SpaceX. Intel helped AMD in the early days, maybe AMD can help Intel today.
The term CPU is older than Intel, which "merely" made the significant step of making a single-chip CPU. Arguably, the major competitor to Intel is not so much AMD or Apple, but TSMC which leads the chip manufacturing technology field. Without this, AMD would not be storming forward; still it was a great move for them to go fabless, without major financial resources for what is now GF.
AMD only went fabless because they were at the brink of bankruptcy, so they sold off their manufacturing division as Global Foundaries. Maybe it ended up being beneficial in the end but don't get me wrong, it was not intentional.
@@kamil.g.m do you understand that amd's superior chips (at the time) couldn't sell because of this? no one displayed their chips in store and no contract from pc makers. inhel paid money incentives (bribes) on top of selling them chips at a loss just to kill amd. amd sank to rock bottom and raking up immense debts. it's a miracle they could survive and revive. stop alternative facts.
Busicom vitch: Where the logic? Faggin: (shows block diagram made in one/two nights) Busicom vitch: This bad! I hate it! Where the logic? Faggin: Uh um...I don't have any... Busicom vitch: You bad you bad! Faggin: Look, I just got the job yesterday! Busicom vitch: You late! 😂😂😂
We've started to make the switch to AMD for processor-intensive tasks without paying a fortune. People do forget, however, the AMD "incompatibility" years. Yikes on that.
I love amd for desktops but I find a lot of amds mobile offerings lacking sometimes but that could just be that the companies I buy from short the ram. 3 gigs of usable ram on a computer running windows Hewlett-Packard when ram for laptops is expensive? I'd like to know what you were smoking and if I can have some
@Jimbo Bimbo Not all CPUs are microprocessors. The guy who made this video seems to think the two terms are synonyms. At the time of the 4004, CPUs were made of separate components. In the PDP/11, for example, the CPU comprised several circuit boards within the computer. So, to answer your question, the 4004 is a CPU, but it wasn't the first CPU. It was the first microprocessor.
Also the binary states of a computer do NOT represent the state of the transistors. The transistors are used to make logic gates (AND, OR, NOT) and the input and output of those are simple binary values. These gates are then combined to create a complex system of logic which performs calculations using those gates and data of these calculations are the 1s and 0s your computer deals with.
@@thep751 A Transistor doesn't store anything. It's just an electrical switch. Also logic gates don't store anything either. You need a flip-flop or a latch for that, which are made from logic gates, which in turn are made from transistors.
Degago. You are amazing! I don't know how you do it, but keep it up and make it last. Yoir Research skills and story telling is amazing (lack of a better word)
I'm really excited to hear you have a book. Over the last two weeks I have become completely hooked on your programming! Very fascinating and insightful.
Whenever people summarize how transistors made cpu's possible they always say something to the effect of "they act as switches which are 1's and 0's and packing them all together cpu's can then process billions of these binary digits"... but beyond being switches/binary digits it really needs added that "when place together in groups with certain ones being controlled they can perform calculations". That small little tidbit is the missing layer that really helps explain (on a very high/simple level still) *why* these things, when put together, make a working cpu.

I'm a lifelong technology enthusiast who became interested in electronics as a child growing up in the 1970s. My electronic technician career began in 1985 after completing an associate degree program in electronics technology from DeVry Institute of Technology which later became DeVry University. The history of the CPU, microprocessor, integrated circuit, Fairchild Semiconductor and Intel, as presented here, is pretty accurate. A well made documentary to quickly present the birth and evolution of modern digital electronics.
ColdFusion should make documentaries. This is the best channel on UA-cam.
Not really too many mistakes and omissions. For example: Lilienfield had working transistors (FETs) as early as 1927, and a patent in 1925. He was Austro-Hungarian. Also Fairchild as a company has not existed since 2016 when bought by On Semiconductor (used to be Motorola). John B Goodenough was instrumental in the invention of RAM. He should also have been mentioned. And last but not least AMD is Advanced Micro Devices. Those are the technical screw-ups not the grammatical ones like "could not be understated".instead of "could not be overstated".
How do they have 3 million subscribers and have such terrible audio quality? Seriously, spending $100 on a decent mic with a pop filter and soundproofing in their recording area could make it sound almost professional. Hell, even just hang some blankets on the walls or something.

@@oldskooldriver9379 have you ever dealt with modern chips? You no longer bring pure logic on that chip, it is more like designing a very power efficient city of logic skyscrapers. It is all about bringing the energy consumption down and spreading in such a way that you won't overheat. Also, since sub 10mm manufacturing is such a diva, you have to plan in that some of your skyscrapers won't work due to manufacturing errors and plan accordingly.

I worked at Intel, from 1978-80 and stood in line behind Ted Hoff, at a scrap pc board sale that the company held for engineers and technicians to get rid of the "dog" boards. (Broken). He was in line in front of me and talking to a younger engineer, whose posture told me he held Ted in high regard. So I consciously took a mental photo of his face and name. A few years ago I saw his face in a web page. That's him, I thought. It was a link to an obituary. I remembered his name too, so I read the article and it said that he was the creator of the first microprocessor. My gut told me that I was standing in front of greatness and it was wonderful to finally learn who he was. I was a test and repair technician working on their microprocessor development system. I fixed the boards I bought. 🙂

Before watching I predict the end of the story reads " Then they stopped hiring engineers and started hiring bean counters"
This is actually happening. I am currently finishing up a PhD in computer systems, and doing research on CPU design, and I can tell you that NO ONE wants to go work for Intel. Even if they offer six figures.
The company currently has a reputation for just trying to milk their legacy products and buy up companies to kill competition. Look at what they are doing in the server market- every time a competing product comes out, they buy up the company and warehouse the product on the books. AMD is making some progress right now in that field, and Apple as well. However, it took huge amounts of money for those companies to overcome the near monopoly Intel has on the market.
The new CEO they just hired has been talking about this problem in fact, so I have hope for the company if he can follow through. If he can get the brains back in the company, there can surely succeed again.
Same as Boeing, it's weird that engineers get kicked out when companies succeed, afterall it's the brilliant product engineering that made them succeed in the first place. Seems weird that they easily forget this

- Intel invented the "CPU on a chip" - CPUs existed before
- NO, NO, NO - applications did not required customized circuit boards. Programmable computers (von Neumann machines) existed from the very start. Von Neumann machines and custom circuits always co-existed and still co-exist today.
- Intels innovation was about cost reduction. The single chip CPU was much much less powerful in those days than the mainframe and multi chip CPUs.

The important part about the first microprocessor chip, is that it followed the Von Neumann architecture. Though the 4004 was only a 4-bit machine, it's programming followed a method understood by mainframe programming. Bill Gate's wrote the BASIC interpreter on a mainframe, to that could run on an Intel 8080, that was used on the MITs Altair. The first personal computer, on that Popular Electronics magazine cover. So even though the first microprocessor was a revolution, it more importantly wasn't too much of a revolution !

The term CPU is older than Intel, which "merely" made the significant step of making a single-chip CPU. Arguably, the major competitor to Intel is not so much AMD or Apple, but TSMC which leads the chip manufacturing technology field. Without this, AMD would not be storming forward; still it was a great move for them to go fabless, without major financial resources for what is now GF.
TSMC can be considered the biggest competitor to Intel, but only in manufacturing chips. In designing them, AMD is their biggest competitor
AMD only went fabless because they were at the brink of bankruptcy, so they sold off their manufacturing division as Global Foundaries. Maybe it ended up being beneficial in the end but don't get me wrong, it was not intentional.

BTW: Intel did not invent the CPU, they created the first MICROprocessor.
@Jimbo Bimbo Not all CPUs are microprocessors. The guy who made this video seems to think the two terms are synonyms. At the time of the 4004, CPUs were made of separate components. In the PDP/11, for example, the CPU comprised several circuit boards within the computer. So, to answer your question, the 4004 is a CPU, but it wasn't the first CPU. It was the first microprocessor.
Also the binary states of a computer do NOT represent the state of the transistors. The transistors are used to make logic gates (AND, OR, NOT) and the input and output of those are simple binary values. These gates are then combined to create a complex system of logic which performs calculations using those gates and data of these calculations are the 1s and 0s your computer deals with.
Although one transistor can represent and store one and zero state.

Your segway to the ad was just as impressive as your typically impressive videos. I didn't even realize it was an ad until the last 2-3 seconds.
I have a strange craving for chips.
Have some Lay's
No!.... Don't !!! Those aren't..... Yeah, he ate the chips.
I really love the first part, "You are watching COLDFUSION TV". It's very futuristic and appealing to hear and see.❤❤❤

Degago. You are amazing! I don't know how you do it, but keep it up and make it last.
Yoir Research skills and story telling is amazing (lack of a better word)
I'm really excited to hear you have a book. Over the last two weeks I have become completely hooked on your programming! Very fascinating and insightful.
Thanks for the watch! Waiting on the edge of my seat for part 2!!
fun fact: warren buffett had a chance to invest in intel as a startup with a value of 1 million at the time. he refused
Buffet is against taking risks and I don't blame him look where intel are now, he made a good decision.
@@KallusGarnet but Buffet would have made tons of cash before Intel goes downhill.
@@KallusGarnet You clearly don't understand how anything work.

Whenever people summarize how transistors made cpu's possible they always say something to the effect of "they act as switches which are 1's and 0's and packing them all together cpu's can then process billions of these binary digits"... but beyond being switches/binary digits it really needs added that "when place together in groups with certain ones being controlled they can perform calculations". That small little tidbit is the missing layer that really helps explain (on a very high/simple level still) *why* these things, when put together, make a working cpu.
Fairchild: Oui tickle your parts! Oh, the corniness of engineers.
I'm sorry i laughed on this....
Not gonna lie, Fairchild's logo is timeless.
Thanks for not lying
Having worked at Intel for many years, it wasn't hard to see problems coming up quickly.
