Evolution of Computer Generations: From Microchips to AI
The Third Generation of Computers: Integrated Circuits
The fiber optic transmission capacity for chips defined the change to the third generation. In the mid-1960s came the invention of the integrated circuit, or microchip, which then led to the invention of the microprocessor at Intel.
