Several 3002's could be linked together to create a computer.
The Intel 3002 was Intel's first  bipolar Bit-slice device. It was a 2 Bit
device and very unusual because most other devices were 4 Bit.
The 3002 is a peer of the Intel 8080, but the 8080 could only handle 8-bits
of data at time. The 3002 was a 2-bit ALU, but 8 3002's could be linked
together to create a computer that could handle 16-bits at a time.
Signetics was the only second source for the 3002. But in the USSR
were also some clones made.
