Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The period of second generation was from 1959-1965. In this generation, transistors were used that were cheaper, consumed less power, more compact in size, more reliable and faster than the first generation machines made of vacuum tubes.
Detailed explanation-2: -The second-generation series of computers from IBM saw approximately six times higher computational speed than computers developed using vacuum tubes in the first generation. In particular, the IBM 7090 was built using over 50, 000 transistors, and extremely fast magnetic cores.
