The Intel 8088.
1978 - 8086 1979 - 8088 First IBM PC used 8088. I think later low end IBM PC's used 8086.
The 4004 was Intel's first microprocessor and the world's first single chip microprocessor. For the first PC as we know it (the 1981 IBM PC), it was the 8088, following with 80286, 80386, 80486 and then the Pentium line.
Microsoft worked with IBM to develop DOS and I believe OS/2 as well.
The original 8088 processor had a maximum clock frequency of 5 MHz. As implemented in the original IBM PC, it ran at 4.77 MHz. There were variations of the 8088 that could run at 8 MHz.
The first IBM PC is the Compaq Portable.
It is not sure who made the pc. In 1981, IBM created the first "Personal Computer". I'm not saying IBM created the first pc, but they were the first ones who called it a Pc.
when they first came out, from 600 to 1000 dollars
How long did it take before the first IBM PC clone was developed
The original IBM PC, also known as the 5150, was was introduced on August 12, 1981.
Because IBM wanted to build a computer with an 8-bit data bus. The 8086 and 8088 are the same processor, with the 8086 running on a 16-bit data bus, and the 8088 running on an 8-bit data bus. This allowed IBM to make the most use of older designs that supported 8-bit data buses, such as the 8080, the 8085, and the Z80.
First PC 8080 made by IBM.
