Joe,
I usually just go shopping when I look up something on the net.
I just typed I8008 or intell 8008 on the address line and clicked on go,
and let the computer do the walking.
I forgot what URL I got the complete info on the I8008 chip trivia
question, but here are a few to get you started.

While you guys are surfing maybe you can find the answer to another
little trivia question. Be careful how you answer, because it is not
really
that obvious, even though several people have posted different answers.
"What was the first personal computer."
Remember, it must be small, inexpensive, simple, digital,
automatic, programmable and accessible, i.e. to those who
are not millionaires. (Hint: It was a microcomputer, and it
was available before the Altair 8800 - some surfing required).
