HP 9000 World's First 32-bit single chip Desktop Computer Processor (1982)
Item #654 (#129 & 827 similar)
Introduced in 1982, HP's first commercial 32-bit desktop computer was the HP 9000/500 Series Model 9020.
It was based on the FOCUS chip which operated at 18 MHz. The FOCUS Microprocessor was a single chip, 32-bit microprocessor. It was manufactured using NMOS-III technology (used two tungsten interconnect layers for high density/reliability/performance) & was VLSI technology manufactured using 1.5 micron technology, contained 450k transistors.
The 9000/500 series HP desktop computers were so fast that they were bound by restrictions on US government export. Systems sold from $28-65k depending on options and were quite expensive for the time. The native operating system for almost all HP 9000 systems was HP-UX, a derivative of Unix.
Clear Lucite Paperweight with an actual HP FOCUS 32-bit Processor inside and has a black base.
Measures 1.5" cubed.

Hewlett-Packard PA-RISC Processor Poster (Late 1980s)
Item #348
PA-RISC is an Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) that Hewlett- Packard developed for High-End desktop computers. It is a Precision Architecture - Reduced Instruction Set Computer (PA-RISC) Architecture, introduced in 1986 for the HP 9000/Model 840 and HP 3000/Series 930 32-bit computers.
PA-RISC was succeeded by the Intel Itanium (originally known as the IA-64) ISA jointly developed by HP and Intel. HP stopped selling PA-RISC-based HP 9000 systems at the end of 2008.
This is a Framed, Full-color HP advertising poster featuring artwork of the PA-RISC processor and other images for promoting the Processor's use in various technologies such as Virtual Reality, Satellite and Communications Systems, Business desktop Computing, and Military Fighter Aircraft.
