First Generation of Computer: Vacuum Tubes
The first computer systems used vacuum tubes for circuitry and magnetic drums for main memory, and they were often enormous, taking up entire rooms. First generation computers relied on machine language, the lowest-level programming language understood by computers, to perform operations, and they could only solve one problem at a time. -
Second Generation of Computer: Transistors
The transistor was invented at Bell Labs in 1947 but did not see widespread use in computers until the late 1950s.The transistor was far superior to the vacuum tube, allowing computers to become smaller, faster, cheaper, more energy-efficient, and more reliable than their first-generation predecessors. Though the transistor still generated a great deal of heat that subjected the computer to damage, it was a vast improvement over the vacuum tube. -
Third Generation of Computers: IBM-360 series
The period of third generation was from 1965-1971. The computers of third generation used Integrated Circuits (ICs) in place of transistors. A single IC has many transistors, resistors, and capacitors along with the associated circuitry. The IC was invented by Jack Kilby. Examples of the third generation computers include IBM-360 series, Honeywell-6000 series, PDP (Personal Data Processor), and IBM-370/168 -
Fourth Generation of Computers: Microprocessor-Based Systems.
Fourth Generation of computers was between 1971 – 1980. These computers used the VLSI technology or the Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) circuits technology. Therefore they were also known as the microprocessors. Intel was the first company to develop a microprocessor. The fourth-generation computers have microprocessor-based. The fourth-generation computers use VLSI circuits. Improved speed, accuracy and reliability are seen. Refinement of the input/output devices seen. -
Fifth Generation of Computer: ULSI
The computers of fifth-generation 1982 – 1994 use AI (artificial intelligence) technology that includes: Development of expert systems, Game Playing, Robotics, Natural language understanding, and Neural Networks. The AI technology made these computers to understand human language as well as recognize graphs and pictures.In the fifth generation, VLSI technology became ULSI -
Sixth Generation of Computers: Intelligent computers
The sixth generation of computers is the rearmost and most advanced stage of computer technology. The sixth generation of computers started around the time 2000 and is still ongoing. Some people still consider us to be in the fifth generation, as AI is still evolving and developing. -
Seventh Generation of Computers: Intel Core 7th Gen
The 7th Generation allows for stunning Ultra HD 4K HDR premium content visuals and can transport into a great VR experience. A desktop computer based on a 7th Gen Intel Core processor is ready for real-life productivity, creativity, and entertainment. -
Eight Generation Of Computer: Intel Core 8th Gen
The 8th gen Intel Core processor series is designed for an array of computing tasks, including gaming, content creation, and VR experiences. Utilizing advanced 14-nanometer technology with FinFET transistors on board, these CPUs provide higher clock speeds than ever before – up to 4.7GHz in Turbo Boost mode. -
Ninth Generation of Computers: Intel Core 9th Gen
9th gen is the most powerful generation of Intel® Core™ desktop processors, with features and enhancements to evoke excitement in what you love to do. Step up to a 9th Gen Intel® Core™ processor-powered PC and experience the difference. -
tenth Generation of Computers: Comet Lake
Comet Lake is Intel's codename for its 10th generation Core processors. They are manufactured using Intel's third 14 nm Skylake process revision, succeeding the Whiskey Lake U-series mobile processor and Coffee Lake desktop processor families. -
Eleventh Generation of Computers: Intel Core 11th Gen
11th Gen Intel Core processors are based on new core architectures that dramatically improve performance for gaming, creating, business, and everyday use. 11th Gen Intel Core processors are the first to feature Intel® Iris® Xe graphics. They also have up to 20 PCIe 4.0 lanes for the latest discrete GPUs. -
Twelfth Generation of Computers: Intel Core 12th gen
12th Gen Intel® Core™ processors support the next wave of discrete graphics cards and storage devices. These devices take advantage of increased throughput coming with PCIe 5.0 as well the higher speeds and bandwidth of DDR5 memory. Another standard feature of 12th Gen Intel® Core™ processors: Intel® Wi-Fi 6E (Gig+).
