Some of those "month unknown" are easily filled out, like this one for example:
(month unknown) Motorola introduces its 6800 chip
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_6800#M6800_family_int...
The first working MC6800 chips were produced in February 1974
The references on the site consist mostly of magazines and are noticeably absent of any manufacturer's databooks/datasheets, which I'd consider looking at first before anything else.

No mention of F14 Tomcat processor: http://www.firstmicroprocessor.com/
also missing is the Four-Phase AL-1 which was operational by 1969, a year before the F14 Tomcat processor design was completed.
The AL-1 came almost 2 years before Intel and TI's first microprocessors debuted and ran 10 times faster than those chips.

What's with the poker/gambling spammy links in the header of the page?

Lots of chips are missing so what is it for?
No mention of Motorola's 6809.
0 - It has very short descriptions for each stage. There's not quite enough info to understand the "whys". Like it states that the 6501 was dropped after the threat of a lawsuit, but doesn't explain that it was because of it being pin-(and I believe signal)-compatible with the 6800, which the 6502 was not.
