Intel introduced the Intel 4004, the first microprocessor in 1971.

Fifth Generation (Present)

After 1986, the fifth generation of computer technology, based on
artificial intelligence, is still in development. They are 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. Laptop

Nowadays Artificial Intelligence (AI) is used to make the computers intelligent. The goal of
fifth-generation computing is to develop devices that will respond to natural language input
like Chatbots, Autocomplete, Autocorrect, Spellcheck, Search engines, etc.

Features of Fifth Generation Computer

Use of artificial intelligence.

Improved size, cost, speed and performance.
New versions of GUI operating systems are developed.

Development of Natural Language Processing.

CHARACTERISTICS OF A COMPUTER

A computer has several characteristics. Some of them are explained here.

Speed: A computer can process millions of instructions within few seconds. The same
calculation that would have taken hours and days to complete can be completed in a few
seconds using a computer. The speed of a computer is calculated in terms of MIPS (Millions
of Instructions Per Second).
