While certainly not the oldest, I do have a collection of Intel cpu's
starting with the 4004.  They can be viewed at

What a great page! The same guy also has the datasheet for some ECL chips
from 1967. Which brings up an interesting point: who on the Piclist has the
oldest chips and what are they?

I have some 5400 series logic (mil-spec version of 7400 series IIRC) with a
date code in 1969 (at least if the datecode worked the same way then as it
does now), but I doubt that is the oldest among this group!

 From what I've seen, monolithic ICs were invented in 1959(simultaneously
by Fairchild/National and TI), and entered commercial production in 1961
(but probably very limited production at first), so I am curious to see
what you guys have!
