Computer generations are not determined by time periods, but by technology used to build them. Also there is often overlap between generations, dates shown below may vary by 2 years or more in either direction for various reasons.

  1. first generation, vacuum tubes, roughly 1942 to 1958, ~16 years
  2. second generation, transistors, roughly 1958 to 1964, ~6 years
  3. third generation, ICs, roughly 1964 to 1971, ~7 years
  4. fourth generation, microprocessors, roughly 1971 to present, >41 years
  5. fifth generation, multicore superscalar microprocessors, uncertain to present
