FPGA recreates F-14 Tomcat's 'first microprocessor' in 3D-printed model

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

An FPGA recreation of the Central Air Data Computer (CADC) from the Grumman F-14 Tomcat has been developed and demonstrated in a 3D-printed scale model. This recreation focuses on the MP944 chip, which some experts argue was the world's first microprocessor, predating the Intel 4004. The project provides open-source VHDL code for all six original CADC chips, allowing for further study and development. AI

RANK_REASON The cluster details the recreation of historical computer hardware and its demonstration, which falls under research and historical technology. [lever_c_demoted from research: ic=2 ai=0.1]
