I agree with Ken Shirriff [1]

> In my view, the key features of a microprocessor are that it provides a CPU on a single chip (including ALU, control functions, and registers such as a program counter) and that it is programmable.

Which means that, pioneering as it was, this wasn’t a microprocessor.

Ken’s post is terrific btw for an overview of the candidates for the title of first microprocessor.
