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. -
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. -
Kaby Lake is Intel's codename for its seventh generation Core microprocessor family announced on August 30, 2016. Like the preceding Skylake, Kaby Lake is produced using a 14 nanometer manufacturing process technology. -
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. -
What is the 9th computer generation?
9th Generation Intel® Core™ Desktop Processors Brief
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. -
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.
