Intel made 2 8-bit microcontroller families - MCS-48 (introduced 1976)
and MCS-51 (introduced 1980).  Both had EEPROM variants (8748 and
8751).  I used variants of both during the 1980's.

Both families are still around - in particular, the 8042 still present
in spirit in your IBM-compatible PC is a MCS-48 variant.
