About this Artwork: This artwork is a mixed media display celebrating the Intel 8008. Work on the 8008, originally named the 1201, first started at Intel as early as 1969, however it was not brought to market until April of 1972. This artwork includes 3 major items. It has a large image of an Intel 8080 chip. On the back is a narrative describing the artwork and the 8008, and the artist’s signature. Also, included is an Intel 8008 (D8008) chip in a gray ceramic 16 lead DIP (Dual Inline Package) package. The new-old-stock, fully functional chip is mounted with threads and is surrounded by an enlarged diagram of the chip with the electrical signal designations for each of its leads.
General Information: These artworks are the creation of ChipScapesTM artist Steve Emery. ChipScapesTM are photographs taken of computer chips, boards, and other computer artifacts. They are sort of chip landscapes, or ChipScapesTM for short. Most often a macro-lens or microscope is used with special lightning to achieve these unique artworks. This artwork is part of the ChipScapesTM Historical Series dedicated to preserving and sharing chips that changed the world. ChipScapesTM are great collectibles or gifts for the technology savvy.		Close-up Study
Narrative Excerpts: "...The 8008 is architecturally very different than the 4004. The 4004 was a Harvard architecture, addressing data (5,120 bits) and instructions (4096 bits) in separate address spaces. The 8008 was a Princeton architecture, addressing both data and instructions in the same address space, which was 16KB. Despite these architectural differences, actual chip layout of these two processors is very similar. Major components such as the Arithmetic and Logic Unit (upper left) and processor registers (lower left) are in the same locations..."		Reverse Side
