Evolution of Microprocessors
• Transistor was invented in 1948 (23 December 1947 in Bell lab).
• IC was invented in 1958 (Fair Child Semiconductors) By Texas
Instruments J Kilby.
• The first microprocessor was invented by INTEL (INTegrated
ELectronics).

Generations of microprocessors:
• First-generation –
From 1971 to 1972 the era of the first generation came which
brought microprocessors like INTEL 4004 Rockwell international PPS-4
INTEL 8008 etc.
• Second generation –
The second generation marked the development of 8-bit
microprocessors from 1973 to 1978. Processors like INTEL 8085
Motorola 6800 and 6801 etc came into existence.
• Third generation –
The third generation brought forward the 16-bit processors like INTEL
8086/80186/80286 Motorola 68000 68010 etc. From 1979 to 1980 this
generation used the HMOS technology.
• Fourth generation –
The fourth-generation came into existence from 1981 to 1995. The 32-bit
processors using HMOS fabrication came into existence. INTEL 80386 and
Motorola 68020 are some of the popular processors of this generation.
• Fifth-generation –
From 1995 till now we are in the fifth generation. 64-bit processors like
PENTIUM, Celeron, dual, quad, and octa-core processors came into
existence.
