The microcomputer with microprocessor as the core belongs to the fourth generation computer
< br \/ >
The development of computers went through four important periods
First generation (1946-1956) vacuum tube computer
Second generation (1957-1964) transistor computer
Third generation (1965-1971) integrated circuit computer
Fourth generation (1972 to present) large-scale and VLSI computers
