The first microprocessors emerged in the early 1970s and were used for electronic calculators, using binary-coded decimal (BCD) arithmetic on 4-bit words. Other embedded uses of 4-bit and 8-bit microprocessors, such as terminals, printers, various kinds of automation etc., followed soon after. Affordable 8-bit microprocessors with 16-bit addressing also led to the first general-purpose microcomputers from the mid-1970s on.

Which processor used in 4th generation computers?
a microprocessor
What are the four classification of computers?
MAINFRAME COMPUTERMINI-COMPUTERMICRO-COMPUTERSUPER-COMPUTERThere are many computers which are different from each other in various aspects. Classification of computers are given below.(1) Micro computers: These computers use a microprocessor chip and this chip is used instead of CPU means that this microprocessor chip works as a CPU.These computers are also called personal computers. Two major types of these computers are laptop or Desktop computers. Only one user uses these computers at time that's why they are also known as personal computers.(2) Mini Computers: These are powerful computer. These computers come into existence in 1960s at that time mainframe computer was very costly. Mini computers were available in cheap prices, so users start using it.(3) Mainframe Computer: It as a very powerful and large computer. You can get idea of its power as it can handle processing of many users at a time.Terminals are used to connect a user to this computer and users submit there task through mainframe. Terminal is a device which has keyboard and a screen. By using terminal users put inputs into the computer and get the output through screen.(4) Super Computers: As the name "super computer" specifies that these are most powerful computers even than mainframe. Actually, when we optimize a mainframe computer then we get super computer.(5) Microprocessor: You will find these computers everywhere. Microprocessor chips are used in many devices as I-pod, DVD, headphone etc.
How are computers used at home?
Ways you can use computers at home: *Gaming *Communication *Research *Reference *Storing Data *Entertainment
History of computer Before 1st generation of computers?
Electro-Mechanical Computers were used before first generation of computers.
How early people heated their homes?
they did home furnace and used computers
Which processor used in 4th generation computers?
a microprocessor
What was the microprocessor to make it into a home computer and how many bits could it process at one time?
The microprocessor used in the first home computer was the 8080. It could handle 8 bits at a time.
What is one pass macro processor in microprocessor?
A macro processor is software. Usually a part of a compiler or an assembler, used to program a computer.A microprocessor is hardware, one type of computer implementation.Very different things.The macro processor was first created in the 1950s and was used on large vacuum tube mainframe computers (long before the first microprocessor).
What do most computers use as their central processing unit?
Microprocessors. Nearly all of today's laptops and computers have a microprocessor being used as their CPU (central processing unit)
What technological developments helped reduce the size and the cost of computers?
Hardware Technology The first generation of computers used vacuum tubes ...Physical Appearance These computers were enormous in size and required a large room for installation. ...The cost of the computer reducedsignificantly, as individual components of ...This era is marked by the development of microprocessor
Which year was a computer first used?
digital computers were first used in 1942 analog computers were first used in about 100BC
What materials were originally used to make the first microprocessor?
it is made from silicon.
What computers will used vacuum tubes?
First generation computers.
How is the first home computer different from the computers that are in our homes now?
The first "home computers" were more hobbyist computers than home computers. You really had to be more interested in them as a hobby that was going to consume much of your time rather than as a tool that was going to be useful. Many of them came in kits with inadequate instructions that you would have to assemble using a soldering iron, hopefully you made no mistakes! The first one I saw advertised in an electronics magazine was called the Mark-8 using the Intel 8008 microprocessor. You could order a package including the schematics, PC board artwork, and parts list (you had to etch the boards yourself and buy the parts on your own) or you could order a set of already etched boards (you still had to buy the parts on your own). The Mark-8 had no I/O devices, so you would have to improvise these!
