really well done and accurate. will you be doing one on the 6502 uP which was selected by Atari and then Apple as they pioneered video games and PCs from the 170s well into the 1980s?
this is what trade secret leaks really look like: "He told me that was unacceptable, saying “Intel can do it on one.” That is the first time I had heard about Intel on that project."
The actual contract between CTC and Intel apparently was found, and can be viewed here:

Its basically a purchase order with the conditions about who owns what IP concerning the 8008 design and development rights.
Quite an incredible document since it formed the foundation of Intel's multi billion dollar rise to industry dominance.

I remember the excitement of my systems group pooling money to get personal copies of a next-gen CPU!
I believe it was the faster
167 MHz version!🤠
