FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -The fourth generation computers was developed using microprocessor. Intel 4004 chip was the first microprocessor developed in 1971. The microprocessor is a silicon chip contains millions of transistors that was designed using LSI and VLSI technology.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fourth generation (1971-2010) The fourth generation of computers took advantage of the invention of the microprocessor, more commonly known as a CPU. Microprocessors, with integrated circuits, helped make it possible for computers to fit easily on a desk and for the introduction of the laptop.

Detailed explanation-4: -In 1971, Intel released the 4004 microprocessor and the Fourth Generation of computers had begun. In the late 1970’s computers like the Altair, Apple and Commodore were the first computers widely sold to individual users.
