Nu har jag inte orkat plöja igenom all textmassa men om den inte nämts så glöm inte bort MP944:an

"This site describes the design work for a MOS-LSI microprocessor chip set designed starting June 1968 and completed by June 1970. This highly integrated computer chip set was designed for the US Navy F14A "TomCat" fighter jet by Mr. Steve Geller and Mr. Ray Holt (Ray's Biography) while working for Garrett AiResearch Corp under contract from Grumman Aircraft, the prime contractor for the US Navy. The MOS-LSI chips were manufactured by American Microsystems, Inc of Santa Clara, California."

"The MP944 consisted of six chips, used in various numbers to build the CADC's CPU. They were the Parallel Multiplier Unit (PMU), the Parallel Divider Unit (PDU), the Random Access Storage (RAS), the Read Only Memory (ROM), the Special Logic Function (SLF), and the Steering Logic Unit (SLU). The complete microprocessor system used 1-PMU, 1-PDU, 1-SLF, 3-RAS's, 2-SLU's, and 19-ROM's.
Holt wrote an introduction to the design in 1971, but the Navy classified it. Another attempt to publish the paper in 1985 also failed, and it was not until 1997 that the government finally agreed to allow it to be published. For this reason the MP944 remains fairly unknown in spite of its historical importance.
Perhaps because of the secrecy, the Intel 4004, released on 15 November 1971, is widely considered to be the first microprocessor. The 4004 was a simple 4-bit CPU, without pipelining and other advanced facilities, and hence was much less capable than the CADC. However, David A. Patterson argues that the F14 CADC should not be considered a microprocessor in the modern sense and instead a "microprogrammed special purpose computer, using a variable number of custom chips."

Inga problem att kalla Edison tjuv, det han gjorde mot Georges Melies är knappast att betrakta som hedervärt.
