The '''Intel 8008''' ("''eight-thousand-eight''" or "''eighty-oh-eight''") is an early [[8-bit computing|8-bit]] microprocessor capable of addressing 16 KB of memory, introduced in April 1972. The 8008 architecture was designed by [[Computer Terminal Corporation]] (CTC) and was implemented and manufactured by [[Intel]]. While the 8008 was originally designed for use in CTC's [[Datapoint 2200]] programmable terminal, an agreement between CTC and Intel permitted Intel to market the chip to other customers after [[Seiko]] expressed an interest in using it for a [[calculator]].
