The 4004 used 2,300 transistors, and the 8008 used 3,500 transistors, and the 8080 used 6,000 transistors, all according to Wikipedia. This is small enough to be practically achievable, and while not terribly useful by today's standards people did manage to do useful work with such CPUs. It also shouldn't be too hard to find documentation on these with some looking around. | |
