Thompson Kaye, Glynnis (1984). A Revolution in Progress - A History to Date of Intel(PDF). Intel Corporation. p.13. Order number:231295. "The 8-bit 8008 microprocessor had been developed in tandem with the 4004 and was introduced in April 1972. It was originally intended to be a custom chip for Computer Terminals Corp. of Texas, later to be known as Datapoint." "As it developed, CTC rejected the 8008 because it was too slow for the company's purpose and required too many supporting chips."
