Stanley Mazor is an American microelectronics engineer. He is one of the co-inventors of the world's first microprocessor architecture, the Intel 4004, together with Ted Hoff, Masatoshi Shima, and Federico Faggin.
Together, four engineers (Dr. Faggin, Dr. Hoff, Mr. Mazor and Dr. Shima) developed the world's first microprocessor, the 4004. The four pioneers demonstrated that by integrating a few semiconductor chips, a microcomputer could be created which could perform a wide variety of functions.
In 1984, Mazor joined Silicon Compiler Systems, and in 1993, then working at Synopsys, he published a book on chip design language entitled A Guide to VHDL. Over the course of his career, Mazor has also published fifty articles. Currently, Mazor is the Training Director of BEA Systems.
Born Oct. 22, 1941. Stanley Mazor was instrumental in refining the architecture of the single-chip CPU. This first working microprocessor was smaller than a thumbnail yet had as much computing power as ENIAC, the first electronic computer, which filled 3,000 cubic feet.
1 Jul 2024 · Stan Mazor was born in Chicago, Illinois, in 1941. He studied mathematics at San Francisco State University. In 1964, Mazor joined Fairchild Semiconductor in Mountain View, California, first as a programmer, then as a computer designer in the digital research department.

Stanley Mazor. Innovator. San Francisco State University. Before there was silicon in Silicon Valley and back when a successful "start-up" meant that your car turned over, Stanley Mazor was a San Francisco State math major intrigued by the university's only computer—an IBM 1620.
