The Altair 8800 is the first microprocessor that I know of that was marketed as a computer.

Many other early versions included:

Imsai 8080

Franklin

Osborn

Exidy

Commadore Pet

The first microprocessor was the Intel 4004, the first computer it was sold in was a development system that Intel called the MCS-4, which stood for MicroComputer System - 4 bits. They also had an MCS-8 about the same time for their 8008 microprocessor.
