Today's computer would be nothing like it is now without the microprocessor. Most every electronic device has a microprocessor in it, from garage door openers, to remote controls, and cell phones. The microprocessor revolutionized electronics, giving them intelligence, and making our lives easier. Thus, it revolutionized the computer industry.
The invention of the microprocessor, a machine which combines the equivalent of thousands of transistors on a single, tiny silicon chip, was developed by Ted Hoff at Intel Corporation in the Santa Clara Valley south of San Francisco, California, an area that was destined to become known to the world as Silicon Valley because of the microprocessor and computer industry that grew up there. Because a CPU calculates, performs logical operations, contains operating instructions, and manages data flows, the potential existed for developing a separate system that could function as a complete microcomputer
