“Messrs. Hoff and Faggin say, Mr. Holt’s chips wouldn’t have changed history, even if anyone had known about them.” Wall Street Journal, September 22, 1998
In spite of the above quotation made by the designers of the Intel 4004 (two years after the F-14 microprocessor) many people involved in the F-14 project were able to continue to apply their experience gained from this project and to richly contribute to the future growth and innovation in the computer and semiconductor fields. Here are some examples.
Tom Redfern (Garret AiResearch) continued his work with National Semiconductor in CMOS design and was selected as one of the first National Fellows for design excellence.
Jim Kawakami (AMI) continued his work with AMD and became a top innovator and leader in microprocessor design.
Brian Schubert (AMI) continued his work with AMD and Intel in graphics chip design and is leading the Intel Graphics Division.
