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 period of the fourth generation of computers is 1971 – 1980, and the main technology used in computers was the microprocessor. The fifth-generation period of computers is 1980-current, and the main technologies used in computers are ULSI, AI software, and parallel processing hardware.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
Detailed explanation-4: -In 1971, Intel released the 4004 microprocessor and the Fourth Generation of computers had begun.
