Q1. Which of the following is the transistor capacity of the first microprocessor produced by Intel Corporation?
A 1700
B 1800
C 2300 Correct
D 2700
Explanation
Intel's first commercial microprocessor was the Intel 4004, introduced in 1971. It is commonly described as having about 2,300 transistors, so 2300 matches the standard figure used in computer-awareness questions. The counts 1700 and 1800 are too low for the Intel 4004 specification, while 2700 is higher than the accepted transistor count. The question asks for transistor capacity, meaning the transistor count on the chip, not clock speed, memory capacity, or word length.
