First of all, thanks to Cheryl from the Intel Museum who found this nice stuff for me, maybe and hopefully ongoing:-)
And thanks to Intel Copyright Permission Department who approved my request to share this docs with our community.

After so many years of searching for pictures of chip dies from 4001, 4002, 4003 and the 4040 i have some.
The 4001 is a real photo, the 4002 and the 4003 I got as bad quality 1-bit scans, I photoshopped a little and layered them with the also bad quality screenshots of the museum video, here are the results.
The 4040 picture is just a small quality enhancement of the scan, I had no photo to do more.

I love the picture of the 8008 as it has purple traces.
The 4001 has the old logo, great!

two more for the 4004


the 4004 photo is prettty funny. At the video captured conference at the end one guy asked why the 4004 on intels website looks wooden.
Look on that pic yourselves:-)
The panels had no idea what that question was about and the answer was nonsense. lol


btw, besides the bad quality of the chip, pity and brushed (wooden) cap, there's something wrong with it.
Do you see what?
There's no price, I am just curious how long it takes until someone sees it.

One last thing, it is worth its own reply:-)


INTEL DOES HAVE NO 4004 CHIP ON STOCK ANY MORE.
There is no grey C4004 at the Museum and people involved with the museum project said they have NEVER seen a grey trace C4004 in real life! Just white ones.

Actually I have two:-))) And I can see them at the same time lol

The marking (dot) of the first pin is on the wrong place ?

The agreement with Busicom looks like no lawyers were involved... that in itself is a "first" Very Happy
