The First Generation

The First Generation refers to the initial wave of computer processors, typically built with basic technology and fewer transistors, that marked the beginning of computing power. These early microprocessors, introduced in the 1970s, were characterized by limited speed and capabilities but laid the foundation for future advancements. They often integrated the CPU onto a single chip, making computers more compact and accessible. While simple compared to modern processors, First Generation chips were revolutionary at the time, enabling the development of personal computers and sparking the evolution of modern computing technology.
