Integrated circuit [r]: Miniaturized electronic circuit that has been manufactured in the surface of a thin substrate of semiconductor material. ^[e]
Central processor [r]: Add brief definition or description
Multicore processor [r]: One of several independent processing units in a single integrated circuit package; other than at the lowest hardware and software level, the integrated circuit is treated as a single processing element ^[e]
Floating point coprocessor [r]: Add brief definition or description
Memory management unit [r]: Add brief definition or description

Intel 4004 [r]: An early single chip computer chip, from the 1970s, and a lineal ancestor of the Pentium ^[e]
Intel 8008 [r]: An early single chip computer chip, from the 1970s, and a lineal ancestor of the Pentium ^[e]

Intel 8080 [r]: An early single chip computer chip, from the 1970s, derived from the Intel 8008 but to some extent a predecessor of the Intel 8086 ^[e]
Intel 8086 [r]: An early single chip computer with 16-bit architecture, with a more extensive instruction set than the Intel 8080 and greater speed than the Intel 8088 ^[e]
Intel 8088 [r]: An early single chip computer with 16-bit architecture, chosen by IBM for the 1979 introduction of the first model of the IBM PC; slower and cheaper than the Intel 8086 ^[e]
Intel 80188 [r]: A single chip processor, with 16-bit internal processing but a cheaper 8-bit bus, ancestral to Intel's Pentium microprocessor, faster than the 8086 ^[e]
Intel 80186 [r]: A single chip processor, with 16-bit internal processing and bus, ancestral to Intel's Pentium microprocessor, faster than the Intel 8086 and slower than the Intel 80286; no virtual memory support ^[e]
Intel 80286 [r]: A single chip processor ancestral to Intel's Pentium microprocessor, a speedier version of the 80186 that added limited virtual memory support ^[e]
Intel 80386 [r]: A single chip processor ancestral to Intel's Pentium microprocessor , faster than the Intel 80286; it added demand-paged virtual memory ^[e]
Intel 80486 [r]: A single chip processer ancestral to intel's Pentium family of single chip computers ^[e]

Intel 8087 [r]: The floating point co-processor to intel's 8086 and 8088 brands of single chip computers ^[e]
Intel 80187 [r]: Add brief definition or description
Intel 80287 [r]: The floating point co-processor for the intel 80286 single chip computer ^[e]
Intel 80387 [r]: Add brief definition or description
Intel 80487 [r]: Add brief definition or description
