The Intellec computers were a series of early microcomputers Intel produced starting in the 1970s as a development platform for their processors.[1] The Intellec computers were among the first microcomputers ever sold, predating the Altair 8800.[2] The first series of Intellecs included the Intellec 4 for the 4004, the Intellec 4 Mod 40 for the 4040, the Intellec 8 for the 8008, and the Intellec 8 Mod 80 for the 8080.[2]

The Intellec 8 Mod 80 was released in 1973.[2] The Intellec computers were never sold to the general public, and a very limited number were built. The Intellec 8 retailed for $2,395.[2]
