A microprocessor incorporates most or all of the functions of a central processing
unit (CPU) on a single integrated circuit (IC). [1] The first microprocessors emerged
in the early 1970s and were used for electronic calculators, using Binary-coded decimal
(BCD) arithmetic on 4-bit words. Other embedded uses of 4- and 8-bit microprocessors,
such as terminals, printers, various kinds of automation etc, followed rather quickly.
Affordable 8-bit microprocessors with 16-bit addressing also led to the first general
purpose microcomputers in the mid-1970s. - Wikipedia
