Faggin made the first *microprocessor*

[kognise]

From dreamcompiler on HN:

"The first mass-produced CPU was the Intel 4004, designed in the late 60s by an Italian physicist and engineer named Federico Faggin."

The first microprocessor (CPU on a single chip) was Faggin's Intel 4004, but mass-produced CPUs existed before that. Earlier CPUs were built from multiple chips, and before that multiple individual transistors, and before that multiple vacuum tubes, and before that multiple relays (although it's fair to say that relay computers were never mass-produced).

It should be changed to "The first mass-produced microprocessor (CPU on a single chip) was the Intel 4004, designed in the late 60s by an Italian physicist and engineer named Federico Faggin." or "The first mass-produced microprocessor was the Intel 4004, designed in the late 60s by an Italian physicist and engineer named Federico Faggin."
