The Fifth Generation Computer Systems ( FGCS; Japanese: 第五世代コンピュータ, romanized : daigosedai konpyūta) was a 10-year initiative begun in 1982 by Japan's Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) to create computers using massively parallel computing and logic programming. It aimed to create an "epoch-making computer ...
Third-generation computers were offered well into the 1990s; for example the IBM ES9000 9X2 announced April 1994 [27] used 5,960 ECL chips to make a 10-way processor. [28] Other third-generation computers offered in the 1990s included the DEC VAX 9000 (1989), built from ECL gate arrays and custom chips, [29] and the Cray T90 (1995).
A fifth-generation programming language ( 5GL) is a high-level programming language based on problem-solving using constraints given to the program, rather than using an algorithm written by a programmer. [ 1] Most constraint-based and logic programming languages and some other declarative languages are fifth-generation languages.
Pentium (original) Max. CPU clock rate. The Pentium (also referred to as the i586) is a x86 microprocessor introduced by Intel on March 22, 1993. It is the first CPU using the Pentium brand. [ 3][ 4] Considered the fifth generation in the 8086 compatible line of processors, [ 5] its implementation and microarchitecture was internally called P5.
The fifth generation era (also known as the 32-bit era, the 64-bit era, or the 3D era) refers to computer and video games, video game consoles, and handheld gaming consoles dating from approximately October 4, 1993, to March 23, 2006. [ note 1] The best-selling home console was the Sony PlayStation, followed by the Nintendo 64 and Sega Saturn.
The second generation 1974 Q1/Lite ran on an Intel 8080, integrated two floppy drives into the computer's enclosure, and included an updated multi-line flat-panel plasma display. [30] Around this time, a Q1 MicroLite was also introduced, incorporating the Lite's plasma display and printer but only one of its two floppy drives into an identical ...
Broadwell (previously Rockwell) is the fifth generation of the Intel Core processor. It is Intel's codename for the 14 nanometer die shrink of its Haswell microarchitecture. It is a "tick" in Intel's tick–tock principle as the next step in semiconductor fabrication. [ 2][ 3][ 4] Like some of the previous tick-tock iterations, Broadwell did ...
The first digital electronic computer was developed in the period April 1936 - June 1939, in the IBM Patent Department, Endicott, New York by Arthur Halsey Dickinson. [35] [36] [37] In this computer IBM introduced, a calculating device with a keyboard, processor and electronic output (display). The competitor to IBM was the digital electronic ...
