I believe its true.

Computers need a processor. The early processors were made using separate components, logic gate ICs and transistors.

They became MICROprocessors when all the logic gates and components were combined onto a single silicone chip, as a dedicated processor.

What is byte addressability?

Early computers were placed in 2 categories, allowing them to be optimized to their user's needs:scientific - these computers had large fixed wordsizes(e.g. 24 bits, 36 bits, 40 bits, 48 bits, 60 bits) and their memory could generally only be addressed to the word, no smaller sized entity could be addressed.business - these computers addressed memory by characters (e.g. 6 bits), if they supported the concept of words at all the machine usually had a variable wordlength that the programmer could specify in someway according to the needs of the program. Their memory was addressed to the character.This was true for both first and second generation computers, but in the third generation computer manufacturers decided to unify the 2 categories of computers to reduce the number of different architectures they had to support. IBM with the introduction of the System/360 in 1964 introduced the concept of thebyte (8 bits) as an independently addressable part of a large fixed word (32 bits). Other computer manufacturers soon followed this practice too.

How did the microchip change computers during the 1990s (apex)?

The same way they changed computers in the 1960s when they were first introduced: computers got smaller, faster, less expensive, used less power, they could now be used in more places, by a wider variety of people, and for a wider range of applications. The same thing will continue well into the foreseeable future.microchips were introduced in the 1960smicroprocessor chips were introduced in the 1970simproved microprocessor chips were introduced in the 1980s, permitting business PCs and simple game computers for the homeimproved microprocessor chips were introduced in the 1990s, permitting powerful business PCs and practical home PCsspecialized graphics microprocessors and multi-core microprocessors were introduced after 2000, permitting offloading of highly compute intensive operations from the main CPU and permitting true multiprocessing in small affordable machines, effectively providing supercomputer like performance to the average everyday user.etc.
