Intel 4004 chipset, a microcomputer chipset that was about an order of magnitude easier and cheaper to make than the calculator chipset the customer (Busicom) wanted made. With the right program it replaced their calculator chipset.

He just got frustrated thinking that the customer's (Busicom) calculator chipset logic that Intel had assigned him to implement in silicon was over 10 times as complex as the logic in the DEC PDP-8 across the room. All their chipset could do was desk calculator functions while the PDP-8 could do 1000s times more!!!
He suggested the customer's design be discarded and that he design a computer chipset (instead of a dedicated calculator chipset). That took some convincing at both Intel and Busicom - the result being the 4004 microprocessor.
