∙ 7y agoSecond generation computers (transistorized computers) varied in size from about the size of a two drawer file cabinet (e.g. Autonetics RECOMP-II) to occupying a significant part of a room (e.g. IBM 7090, IBM 7030 Stretch, UNIVAC III, UNIVAC 1107, DEC PDP-10).
The image above shows the prototype for the IBM 1620, a transistorised computer roughly the size of an office desk, introduced in 1959.

second generation of computing
What is a second generation computer?
Most systems of classifying computers define the second generation computers to be those built with discrete transistors (no vacuum tubes, no integrated circuits). This spans roughly ~1958 to ~1964.
