1st GENERATION
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. -
2nd GENERATION
he second generation computers were used during 1957-1963. They are also known as transistor computers. The second generation of computers consists of two types of devices, transistors, and magnetic core. -
3rd GENERATION
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. -
4th generation
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. -
5th GENERATION
In the fifth generation, VLSI technology became ULSI (Ultra Large Scale Integration) technology, resulting in the production of microprocessor chips having ten million electronic components. This generation is based on parallel processing hardware and AI (Artificial Intelligence) software. -
6th GENERATION
Quantum computing, nanotechnology, AI, neural networks, wide area networking, natural language processing, etc., are important characteristics of the sixth generation. The sixth generation may introduce new ways of interacting with machines, such as voice commands or AR, VR, and MR technology. -
7th GENERATION
7th generation Intel® Core™ and Celeron® families and Intel® Xeon® E3-1275 v6 processors are manufactured on Intel's most up-to-date and optimized 14 nm technology. -
8th GENERATION
Intel first launched its 8th Generation Intel Core family processors in August 2017. While with the release of the new 8th Gen Intel Core i9 processor in 2018, Intel said it would be the highest-performance laptop processor Intel has ever built. -
9th GENERATION
9th generation i7 and i9 parts feature eight cores. Increased L3 cache in accordance to the number of threads. Increased turbo clock speeds across i5 and i7 CPUs models (increased by up to 400 MHz) Increased iGPU clock speeds by 50 MHz and rebranded it UHD (Ultra High Definition) -
10th GENERATION
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. -
11th GENERATION
Intel officially launched the 11th generation Intel Core-H series on May 11, 2021 and announced the 11th generation Intel Core Tiger Lake Refresh series on May 30, 2021. -
12th GENERATION
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.
