By the logic gate. Which is just a series of transistors within one package.
This was replaced by the processor which is just a group of logic gates.
Effectively all microchips and processors are made up of thousands or even millions of transistors... as well as resistors and capacitors.

What computer component did the transistor replace?
the vacuum tube
What replaced the vacuum tube?
The transistor replaced the vacuum tube, allowing radios to get much smaller and portable.
What invention replaced the vacuum tube?
The answer to the question is TRANSISTER
What electronic component is a gate or switch for electrical signals?
Transistor or vacuum tube.
What is a vacuum tube used for?
The same things a transistor is used for.
What is it about the transistor that made it such a great improvement over the vacuum tube?
The transistor was many times smaller than the vacuum tube meaning that many more of them could be wired into series so that a computer with twice the computing power could be for to eight times smaller than a computer using vacuum tubes. It also made it possible for handheld radios and personal computers. Tv's became half the size as well. With the invention of the integrated transistor in a circuit board, the computing power to size took another huge leap.
How many vacuum tube in one transistor?
There are no vacuum tubes in a transistor. A vacuum tube is an electronic device that uses a heated cathode in a vacuum to direct and control an electron stream to an anode, also known as the plate. The vacuum tube is old technology, but it is still used today, typically in high power applications such as transmitters. A transistor is an electronic device that uses solid-state semiconductors to similarly control an electron stream. The transistor is newer than the vacuum tube. It offers lower power, smaller size, easier use and other enhancements over vacuum tubes, within limits, of course, such as voltage and power.
What is the usage and benefit of vacuum tube in computer?
Vacuum tubes are neither useful nor advantageous in modern computers. These were replaced decades ago by the integrated circuit.
Is a vacuum tube far more stable than a transistor?
yes but vacuum tubes produce more sperm trololol
What characteristics made the transistor better than the vacuum tube?
There were obvious differences between the trasisitor and the vacum tube. The transistor was faster, more reliable, smaller, and much cheaper to build than a vacuum tube. One transmisor was the equivalent 40 vacuum tubes. They also didn't produce heat compare it to a vacuum tubes. Conduct electricity faster and better than vacuum tubes.
Is Vcc notation used only in a transistor circuit?
Vcc is used in bipolar transistor circuitsVdd is used in field effect transistor circuitsB+ is used in vacuum tube circuits
Can the amplified output of the transistor exceed the range of power supply given to it?
No, and neither can the amplified output of a vacuum tube.
