1st Generation of the Computer
The period of first generation was from 1946-1959. The computers of first generation used vacuum tubes as the basic components for memory and circuitry for CPU (Central Processing Unit). These tubes, like electric bulbs, produced a lot of heat and the installations used to fuse frequently. Therefore, they were very expensive and only large organizations were able to afford it. -
2nd Generation of the Computer
The period of second generation was from 1959-1965. In this generation, transistors were used that were cheaper, consumed less power, more compact in size, more reliable and faster than the first generation machines made of vacuum tubes. In this generation, magnetic cores were used as the primary memory and magnetic tape and magnetic disks as secondary storage devices. -
3rd Generation of the Computer
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. -
4th Generation of the Computer
The period of fourth generation was from 1971-1980. Computers of fourth generation used Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) circuits. VLSI circuits having about 5000 transistors and other circuit elements with their associated circuits on a single chip made it possible to have microcomputers of fourth generation. -
5th Generation of the Computer
(1980 to Present)
Fifth-generation computers are based on ULSI (Ultra Large Scale Integration) technology, AI (artificial intelligence) software, and parallel processing hardware. ULSI has revolutionized the development of microprocessors. Now, about ten million electronic devices can be assembled on a single microprocessor chip. On the other hand, AI is helping computers to react efficiently against natural languages. -
6th Generation of the Computer
The sixth generation of computers represents the pinnacle of computer development. In terms of size, speed, and the jobs it can complete, it differs from previous generations of computer. Intelligent computers based on artificial intelligence or artificial brains are the term used to describe the sixth generation of computers. The raw ingredient for its processors is semiconductors. -
7th Generation of the Computer
7th Generation of computer
Advanced semiconductor technology was used in the design of the 7th generation of computer processors. Compared to its predecessors, it offers faster clock speeds, more energy-efficient operation, and better graphics processing.The utilization of slimmer and lighter devices, LCD flat panels, and access to UHD 4K video are also features of the seventh generation of computers. -
8th Generation of the Computer
The 8th Generation Intel® Core™ processors redefine mainstream desktop PC performance with up to six cores for more processing power—that's two more cores than the previous generation Intel® Core™ processor family—Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 to increase the maximum turbo frequency up to 4.7 GHz, and up to 12 MB -
9th Generation of the Computers
The NEW 9th Generation of Intel® Core™ Desktop Processor Delivers: A range of processors including the first unlocked Intel® Core™ i9 mainstream desktop processor. Data acceleration when paired with Intel® Optane™ memory to retrieve that data you use the most for fast system responsiveness. -
10th Generation of the Computer
The 10th generation processor refers to Intel’s line of central processing units (CPUs) based on the “Ice Lake” architecture, which was released in 2019. These processors feature improvements in clock speed, thermal design power (TDP), and integrated graphics compared to their predecessors, and they are designed to offer better performance, power efficiency, and security for a variety of computing applications, including gaming, content creation, and productivity. -
11th Generation of the Computer
11th Generation Intel® Core™ processors redefine Intel® CPU performance for laptop and desktop PCs. New core and graphics architectures, AI-based performance boosts, best-in-class wireless and wired connectivity1, and advanced tuning features2 deliver higher levels of power and flow to support your aspirations. -
12th Generation of the Computer
Intel officially announced 12th Gen Intel Core CPUs on October 27, 2021. Intel officially announced 12th Gen Intel Core mobile CPUs and non-K series desktop CPUs on January 4, 2022. Intel officially announced the launch of Alder Lake-P and -U series on February 23, 2022, and Alder Lake-HX series on May 10, 2022.
