Jack Kilby at Texas Instruments invented the first monolithic integrated circuit in 1958. His device consisted of a bar of Germanium in which all the components were formed, but still required manual wiring of those components under a microscope.
Robert Noyce at Fairchild Semiconductor invented an improved monolithic integrated circuit about 6 months later. His device consisted of Silicon and using Fairchild's newly developed planar process allowed both components and wiring to be formed together. This process has been used for ICs ever since.
Federico Faggin at Intel invented the first commercial microprocessor IC, the 4004, in 1971.

However something very similar was done on a classifiedprogram to upgrade the F-14 electronics in 1969.

Due to a need for smaller and more powerful computers the what was invented and replaced transistor-based computers by the mid-1960s?
integrated circuit computer or microprocessor
What year was 4th generation computers invented?
Fourth Generation Computers (which are Microprocessors) were invented through the development of Transistors. Transistors were created by William Shockley, John Bardeen and Walter Brarttain. Therefore, it is hard to tell a specific inventor of the Microprocessor.
Which is the first general purpose microprocessor?
4004 is the first general purpose microprocessor by Intel
How did Marcian Hoff's infention change computers?
Marcian Hoff was one of the computer scientists who developed the microprocessor in the early 1970s. Having a 'universal processor' was an important development in computer science.

Who invented the microprocessor first and what was the first microprocessor?
Ted hughes was the first person who designed microprocessors. In 1971 Ted hughes make first microprocessor for intel. The name of the first microprocessor was: Intel-4004. It contains lacs of electronic circuits.
Has the intended purpose of the microprocessor change since it was originally invented?
Intel has changed the global marketplaces dramatically since it was founded in 1968 the company invented the microprocessor, the "computer on a chip" made possible the first handheld calculators and personal computers. by the early 21st century, Intel's microprocessor were found in approximately 80 percent of PCs worldwide.
When and by whom did the world's first microprocessor come into the market?
The question is unclear, but it looks like it meant to ask when the first microprocessor was invented. That was the Intel 4004, invented in 1971. It was the first single chip microprocessor, and the first microprocessor available commercially. The 4004 was a 4 bit processor, with a 12 bit address bus and an 8 bit opcode. Everything was multiplexed, 4 bits at a time, in 8 clock cycles per instruction.
When was the computer processor invented?
Silicon or Si which is the most basic component of all processors was discovered in 1823. The first ever microprocessor was invented in 1971.
How did Intel revolutionized computers?
Intel invented the 32 and 64 bit microprocessor which are in all modern computers
