I finally read the article today. It's interesting that Hoff et al define
a microprocessor just as I do:

"But we were the first to put a computer's central processing unit on a
single chip."

The article goes on to say that Mr. Holt argues that a microprocessor
doesn't have to be on one chip, but I didn't see any attempt to offer an
alternative definition of microprocessor.
