The period 1940 to 1956, roughly considered as the First Generation of Computer. The first generation computers were developed by using vacuum tube or thermionic valve machine. -
A second-generation computer, through the late 1950s and 1960s featured circuit boards filled with individual transistors and magnetic-core memory. -
The period of third generation was from 1965-1971. The computers of third generation used Integrated Circuits (ICs) in place of transistors. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
In terms of speed, the desktop CPUs are now running at rates 20 per cent faster than the previous generation. Laptops equipped with the latest mobile CPUs also offer a 20 per cent performance hike over a machine purchased three years ago. -
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 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 -
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 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. 11th Gen Intel Core processors use enhanced AI-based intelligent performance to accelerate task completion in productivity, creative, and other applications -
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+).
