Transistors were much stable and reliable than vacuum tubes. IV. Memory size expanded to 32 kilobytes and speed of 200,000 to 300,000 per second. 3rd Generation (1964 - 1979) I. Magnetic disk was developed for storage. II. Used intergrated circuits made of combining several transistors. III. Consisted of fast mainframe computers such as IBM 360,370 and 8-bit microcomputers. IV. Memory expanded to 2 megabytes of RAM (random access memory) and speed accelerated to 5 million instructions per

the operations and calculations that take place. A flaw in the Pentium was especially important, since at that time it was the microprocessor used in 80% of the personal computers produced worldwide. Apparently, flaws in a complicated integrated circuit such as the pentium are not uncommon. Most of these flaws cant be detected by the user and do not affect the operation of the computer. The flaw that was discovered in 1994 was different. It caused wrong answers when performing double-precision arithmetic

Moore's law is the observation that, over the history of computing hardware, the number of transistors on integrated circuits doubles approximately every two years. The law is named after Intel co-founder Gordon E. Moore, who described the trend in his 1965 paper.[1][2][3] His prediction has proven to be accurate, in part because the law is now used in the semiconductor industry to guide long-term planning and to set targets for research and development.[4] The capabilities of many digital electronic
