What are the difference between computers 1 generation to 5 generation?

This is a rather broad question... There are numerous differences between various generations of computers, and numerous things that could be meant by the term "computers." I have to assume the question refers more specifically to the various generations of computer processors.
Between the first Pentium and the latest Core 2 Duo processors, for example, quite a few changes have taken place.
* Clock speed - newer processors generally run at higher speeds; this is a measure of how quickly the processor can operate, expressed in hertz. This is not the only relevant figure when comparing different processors.
* Number of cores - in the last couple of years, chip makers have touted the number of cores on their processors; think of each one as a separate mini-computer of sorts, able to complete its own tasks; a limitation with multi-core processors is the software, which often cannot take full advantage of multiple cores.
For further information, please clarify the question, and perhaps the intended purpose (is this information intended to help with an upcoming purchase or simply personal edification?).

What is Computer bases information system?
Q:1 What is difference between Forth Generation & Fifth Generation computers
What is the difference between first and fifth generation computers?
The main difference between first generation and fifth generation computers is upgrades. Typically, first generation is more of a beta system and fifth has had many upgrades added to it to make it run faster and has a better performance.
What are fifth generation computers?
the computers which have the ability to:1. think as a human 2. act as a human3. think rationally4. act rationallyare said to be artificially intelligent computer..
What is the difference between 1st and 2nd generation of computer?
First Generation Computers refer to ones with vacuum tubes and were really huge and required vast amounts of electricity. The programming was very limited and very complex USN machine language. Usually they were hardwired and the applications very limited. Second Generation Computer were built using transistors that were much smaller and required less power and space. General Purpose program languages were developed that could be moved from 1 computer to the next.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of the third generation?
The advantages of the third generation computers are:1. faster2. smaller3. uses less energy4. uses high level programming5. cheaper7. lower maintenance costthe disadvantages are:1. still require air conditioning

What is the difference between jawbone generation 1 and 2?
The difference between jawbone generation 1 and 2 is that the Band Version for jawbone generation 2 is 6-1.0.2.
1 How computers are useful in data generation?
computers don't generate data. They processes the data.
What is the difference between first generation and second generation computers?

How many generations of computers are there exactly?
5 Generation of Evolution of computers:1. First Generation (1940-1956) Vacuum Tubes2. Second Generation (1956-1963) Transistors3. Third Generation (1964-1971) Integrated Circuits4. Fourth Generation (1971-Present) Microprocessors5. Fifth Generation (Present and Beyond)ArtificialIntelligence.
What happens to the alleles between the P generation and the F2 generation?
In the P generation, one parent is homozygous dominant and the other parent is homozygous recessive. In the F1 generation, the product of a cross between the P generation, the offspring are all heterozygous. In the F2 generation, the product of a cross between the F1 generation, the expected result is 1/4 homozygous dominant, 1/2 heterozygous, and 1/4 homozygous recessive.
What happens to alleles between the p generation and F2 generation?
In the P generation, one parent is homozygous dominant and the other parent is homozygous recessive. In the F1 generation, the product of a cross between the P generation, the offspring are all heterozygous. In the F2 generation, the product of a cross between the F1 generation, the expected result is 1/4 homozygous dominant, 1/2 heterozygous, and 1/4 homozygous recessive.
Most computers sold for home use have between 1 and GB of RAM?
most computers have between 1 and 4 gigabytes of RAM
What generation is represented by the result of a cross between two parents?
F-1 Generation
What is the difference between 1 and 0?
The difference is 1 .
