Of course. Transistors are the base of all computer processors. They are the successor to the vacuum tube.

Do today's computers use transistors and microprocessors?
Yes, today's computers use transistors and microprocessors. Smaller transistors subset the amount of RAM that is local to the CPU at any given moment.
Is Kodak film still used today?
Yes, Kodak film is still used in many cameras today. It is used in many places! did you know
How do transistors represent binary data?
they can't
What element is used in making transistors and chips?
Silicon and Germanium are the elements used in transistors
What major effect did the transistor have on technology?
The transistor gave the technology world a huge boost, which is what originally started up modern computers today which use 32nanometer transistors that switch to 1 and to 0. Transistors have created the world we live in today that includes much more technologically advanced computers that get twice as fast each year. -Room for improvement-
Was Germanium used in transistors?
Yes, germanium was the only material used in transistors from when they were invented in 1947 until 1954 when the first successful silicon transistor was made. However the use of germanium still dominated transistors until the silicon mesa transistor was made commercially available by Fairchild Semiconductor in 1958. Development of the silicon planar transistor by Fairchild Semiconductor the next year ultimately made the integrated circuit possible. While almost all transistors today are silicon, there are still uses for germanium transistors so a few types are still made.
Do today's computers use transistors and microprocessors?
Yes, today's computers use transistors and microprocessors. Smaller transistors subset the amount of RAM that is local to the CPU at any given moment.
Do people use bipolar junction transistor today?
Yes people still use bipolar junction transistors today because of its high switching speed.

Is the tank still used today?
the tank is still used today. For example the M1 Abrams is still used
Is longhouses still used today?
long houses are not still used today
Why transistors are not used for switching devices?
Transistors are used for switching devices! What gave you the idea they aren't?
