On the left is a Datapoint 2200 computer, a machine that has the same computing power as the Intel 8008. Datapoint contracted Intel to make a single integrated circuit that eventually became the famous early microprocessor, but before that existed, they implemented it the hard way in discrete logic.
In the middle is a demonstration of core rope technology, the same method used to make non-volatile ROM program storage found on the Apollo Guidance Computer.
On the right is a Mark-8 Minicomputer, an early microcomputer featuring an actual Intel 8008. However, it predates the usage of the term "microcomputer", so they called it a minicomputer. Computer classification terminology is not the hard and fast rule perpetuated by some.
