Well I don't know about addresspace (maybe some intel dude could help us?),
but this I know:

Released: November 1971
Speed:    60,000 operations per second (0.06 MIPS)
Price:    $200 (initial price)

It was the first microprocessor, replaced by 8008 a year later with a stunning
0.3 MIPS performance and 16kb address space.
