The micro processor made today's computer possible.
Pre-microprocessor computers, while being ingenious engineering accomplishments, are outperformed by microprocessor based systems by an order of magnitudes. Even microprocessor based systems from over a decade ago, in terms of speed and complexity of calculations, general purpose use, power consumption, physical size, reliability and cost.

Which integrated circuit chips are used in a modern computer?
The microprocessor is the most common integrated circuit chip that is used in modern computers. The microprocessor is a multipurpose, programmable device, and processes data according to instructions stored in its memory thus providing the results as output.
Where is microprocessor placed in computer?
The central processor unit (microprocessor) is placed on the motherboard. The cooler, necessary to refrigerate the microprocessor is placed behind it.
Application of 8086 microprocessor?
It is used for various instruction set and interrupt systems also. They were a popular, early, microprocessor commonly embedded in washing machines and domestic appliances, to replace mechanical timers and interlocks.
What is the role of clock generator in microprocessor?
The clock signal in a microprocessor allows synchronization of several components of the microprocessor. The correctness of the computation of the microprocessor depends upon efficient and balanced distribution of the clock signal. The clock generator generates the clock signal.
Who is Marician Hoff?

What items made the development of person computers possible?
the microchip and microprocessor
When computers became affordable for non-specialists?
After the microprocessor was developed in the 1970s.
Has the intended purpose of the microprocessor change since it was originally invented?
Intel has changed the global marketplaces dramatically since it was founded in 1968 the company invented the microprocessor, the "computer on a chip" made possible the first handheld calculators and personal computers. by the early 21st century, Intel's microprocessor were found in approximately 80 percent of PCs worldwide.
How did Marcian Hoff's infention change computers?
Marcian Hoff was one of the computer scientists who developed the microprocessor in the early 1970s. Having a 'universal processor' was an important development in computer science.
