Die photos and analysis of the revolutionary 8008 microprocessor, 45 years old
Despite how simple the 8008 is compared to modern processors, I wonder if we'll ever see some sort of commercially-available "3D printer for circuits" that would be able to reproduce something of its caliber. Such a thing would finally enable truly open computing at every level, which, even if far less capable than high-end processors, would be sufficient for lots of tasks.
