http://www.righto.com/2016/12/die-photos-and-analysis-of_24.html Die photos and analysis of the revolutionary 8008 microprocessor, 45 years old Intel's groundbreaking 8008 microprocessor was first produced 45 years ago.1 This chip, Intel's first 8-bit microprocessor, is the ancestor of the x86 processor family that you may be using right now. I couldn't find good die photos of the 8008, so I opened one up and took some detailed photographs. These new die photos are in this article, along with a discussion of the 8008's internal design Ancient chip, still not a complete reverse engineering. No chance at even getting close to that in public with today's chips. #OpenFabs #OpenDesigns
