4th gen microprocessor

Project on 4th generation processor.It gives you an insight and brief understanding of this generation.

2. Microprocessors Are the Start of Modern Computers Introduction to modern day computers by basically being a computer's entire Central Processing Unit (CPU) on one integrated circuit. . The idea of computer technology took a big turn with the invention of microprocessors and VLSI technology (very large scale integration). Invented in 1971 by Ted Hoff Named:-Intel 4004 1st computer on a chip to fit in a desktop. Also known as a central processing unit in which numbers of peripherals’ are fabricated on a single chip. It has ALU (arithmetic and logic unit), a control unit, registers, bus systems, and a clock to perform computational tasks.

Computers of the 4 th generation include It's fine to celebrate success, but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure.“ -Bill Gates, Cofounder of Microsoft ALTAIR 8800 Apple I Apple II series Macintosh IBM PC -Bill Gates, Cofounder of Microsoft Developed 32-bit microprocessors by using HCMOS fabrication.

7. ALTAIR 8800; the First Personal Computer MITS' ALTAIR 8800 is credited as one of the first microcomputers. It was produced in 1975 by Micro Instrumentation Telemetry Systems labeled as a personal computer; PC. Ed Roberts, the head of MITS, designed it using a Intel 8080 CPU chip (first 16- bit microprocessor) and a sleek metal case. Once a monitor and keyboard were sold with it, the sales increased greatly. It was the initial influence of personal computing in the world. You could run BASIC language on it, written by Bill Gates and Paul Allen sold as "Altair BASIC" which became their company's, Microsoft's, first product. The computer sold very well for an amount of time, but then, MITS was sold to a company called Pertec in 1976. The ALTAIR seemed to disappear into history.

8. Apple computers Steve Wozniak first developed the original Apple computer, Apple I, in 1976. It was Apple's first product; a small personal computer. His friend Steve Jobs helped him sell the computer, and later helped him manufacture the Apple II. Wozniak and Jobs were the true co-founds of Apple. They developed the Apple II, which was one of the first highly successful, mass produced home microcomputers. It was the first in their Apple II series that ended in 1993. About five million were sold total. They ran ROM and Integer BASIC, developed by Wozniak. He also developed Disk II, a Floppy Disk Drive for storage, in 1978. Apple also introduced the Macintosh in 1984 based on the Motorola 68000 microprocessor. It was not initially commercially successful, but eventually became so with the introduction to desktop publishing. Apple also produced the Apple III series in 1980, but it was unsuccessful due to an overheating problem. Many other Apple computer models were produced throughout the fourth generation of computing. Some proved successful, while others didn't.

9. The Beginnings of "Micro-Soft" The founders of Microsoft, Paul Allen and Bill Gates, began working with computers by writing BASIC in a partnership with MITS for the ALTAIR 8800. Name micro-soft as in "Micro processing Software." They started out with mostly making operating systems and programming languages. DOS, Disk Operating System, brought in much success for the company. Partnership with IBM lead to the release of the IBM PC DOS in 1981. The company upheld many other collaborations, creating systems for different computers during that era. In 1985, they released a retail version of Windows 1.0, a 16- bit graphical operating environment. They also released a operating system called OS/2 with IBM, which was quite successful. A program for word processing, database, and spreadsheet was also released, which was named Microsoft Works in 1986. As the release of Windows 3.0 came about, OS/2 sales greatly declined, and Microsoft abandoned the partnership with IBM. They began the transition from MS-DOS to Windows. "Microsoft Windows" truly became its own computer company.
