  • My favorite microprocessor
  • Special memories with a microprocessor
  • The coolest feature in microprocessors
  • The coolest thing that happened in the history of the microprocessor
  • A big story in the history of the microprocessor
  • A special story in the evolution of the microprocessor

Please send your favorite microprocessor stories, pictures, and anecdotes to ????????@?????.??? by 28 July 2021. Selected stories will be printed in IEEE Micro magazine or displayed on the IEEE Micro website.

In addition, please vote for your favorite microprocessor at https://forms.gle/57CWkUg4wGVazxM69. Please cast your vote for one processor in each decade and an overall pick for all five decades together.
