Federico Faggin signed the 4004 with his initials because he knew that his silicon gate design embodied "the essence of the microprocessor". A corner of the die reads "F.F."<ref name="FFsign"/>

In November 1996 – the 25th anniversary of the microprocessor – Intel gave out to its U.S. employees a [[brass]] [[clock]] containing a 4004 Microprocessor Chip.<ref>[https://www.chipsetc.com/intel-anniversary--milestone-items.html Intel 4004 Clock - 25th Anniversary of the Microprocessor (1996)]</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://timeline.intel.com/1996/25-years-of-the-microprocessor | title=Explore Intel's history- 25 Years of the Microprocessor }}</ref>

On November 15, 2006, the 35th anniversary of the 4004, Intel celebrated by releasing the chip's [[schematic]]s, [[mask work]]s, and [[user manual]].<ref name="history">[http://www.intel.com/about/companyinfo/museum/exhibits/4004/docs.htm Intel 4004 Microprocessor Historical Materials], [[Intel]] Museum, 2009-11-15, accessed November 18, 2009</ref> A fully functional 41 × 58&nbsp;cm,<ref>{{cite web|title=4004 @ 44: SVG Mask Artwork; New Busicom 141-PF replica PCB; Printer emulator |date=November 20, 2015 |access-date=May 5, 2016 |url=http://www.4004.com/2015-news.html}}</ref> 130× scale replica of the Intel 4004 was built using [[discrete transistor]]s and put on display in 2006 at the [[Intel Museum]] in [[Santa Clara, California|Santa Clara]], California.<ref name=i44>{{Cite web|access-date=April 2, 2016 |date=November 15, 2015 |title=Intel 4004 -- 45th Anniversary Project |url=http://www.4004.com/ |quote=including fully functional 130x scale replicas of the 4004 built using discrete transistors, museum-durable keyboards and slide switches, and video display electronics. }}</ref>

On October 15, 2010, Faggin, Hoff, and Mazor were awarded the [[National Medal of Technology and Innovation]] by President [[Barack Obama]] for their pioneering work on the 4004.<ref>{{Cite press release|url=https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/2010/10/15/president-obama-honors-nations-top-scientists-and-innovators|work=[[whitehouse.gov]]|title=President Obama Honors Nation's Top Scientists and Innovators|via=[[NARA|National Archives]]|date=October 15, 2010}}</ref>
