Category:Intel 4004 Clock - 25th Anniversary of the Microprocessor (1996)

English: This limited edition quality timepiece was given out to Intel's U.S. employees in November of 1996 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the microprocessor, measured from November 15, 1971, the date the first advertisement for the Intel 4004 first appeared in Electronic News Magazine.

Mounted on the clock face near the 12 o'clock position is an Intel 4004 Microprocessor Chip. Due to the extreme rarity of these early Intel 4004 silicon die and silicon wafers (Intel itself has stated it only has one Intel 4004 wafer in its entire Museum collection), it is still an unanswered mystery how Intel came about this many 4004 chips to produce these limited edition clocks.

Clock is Brass, with glass bevel, solid metal throughout, hinged to fold like a book, and synchronized by Japanese movement.

Item comes in Original black gift box with printed gold Intel logo and includes a printed information card describing the importance of the Intel 4004 Microprocessor. Card has facsimile signatures from Andy groove, Craig Barrett & Gordon Moore. Includes black gift box and paperwork from the clocks manufacturer on it's care and maintenance.^[1]
