The first 8-bit microprocessor, the TMX 1795 had the same architecture as the 8008 but was built months before the 8008. It was never sold commercially and \u00a0this Texas Instruments processor is now almost forgotten. In this article he present the surprising history of the TMX 1795 in detail, looks at other early processors, and explains how the TMX 1795 almost became the first microprocessor.
