Anywhere from none to many billions, depending on the computer.
- vacuum tube computers had no transistors
- transistorized computers had a few thousand to a few hundred thousand transistors
- integrated circuit computers had a few tens of thousands to a few million transistors
- microprocessor computers have had a few thousand to many billions of transistors
What else can I help you with?
What replaced vacuum tubes in the computer?
Integrated circuits (in many microprocessor integrated circuits) containing many billions of transistors each.
Does a computer processor have several transistors?
Like every other chip processors consist of millions of transistors.
Transistors are associated with which computer system?
Second generation
What computer was the first use magnetic tape and transistors?
UNIVAC I
What type of technology used in each computer generations?
transistors
What are the advances in technology that characterize the in second generation in computer?
transistors
How many years later were the transistors made in colossus?
The Colossus, the world's first programmable digital computer, was operational by 1944, utilizing vacuum tubes rather than transistors. Transistors were invented later, with the first practical transistor created at Bell Labs in 1947. Therefore, transistors were developed approximately three years after the Colossus was built.
How does coding work, and how do the corresponding letters and numbers allow you to function your masterpiece?
A computer can only understand two distinct types of data: on and off. A computer is just a collection of on/off switches (transistors). Anything that a computer can do is nothing more than a unique combination of some transistors turned on and some transistors turned off.
How much valves are in a modern day computer?
There are no valves in a modern computer. If by valves you mean vacuum tubes, the equivalent is a transistor. Modern CPUs have many transistors/gates on their dies. The SandyBridge i7, a near-top end general purpose computer COU can have 2.2 billon transistor elements on the CPU die. Of course there are many more transistors incorporated in the logic chips, controllers and video cards in a computer as well.
Are transistors still used today?
Of course. Transistors are the base of all computer processors. They are the successor to the vacuum tube.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transistor
How many transistors are on a Phenom II 965?
758 Million transistors.
What component replaced valves in the second generation computer?
discrete transistors
