Fifth Generation (Present)
After 1986, ULSI technology was used to
develop more powerful microprocessors to
improve the speed, size, cost and performance
of computers. In 1997, Intel introduced the
MMX microprocessors, which were designed
to improve game and multimedia performance.
Scientists are still trying to develop computers
with Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Features of Fifth Generation Computer
Will use artificial intelligence
Improved size, cost, speed and performance
New versions of GUI operating systems are developed
