Which was the first computer to use transistor instead of vacuum tubes?
Which was the first computer to use transistor instead of vacuum tubes?
The correct option is C IBM- 1401
IBM- 1401 was the first computer to use transistor
instead of vacuum tubes.
A transistor computer, now often called a second
generation computer,[1] is a computer which uses discrete transistors instead
of vacuum tubes. The first generation of electronic computers used vacuum
tubes, which generated large amounts of heat, were bulky, and were unreliable.
A second generation of computers, through the late 1950s and 1960s featured
circuit boards filled with individual transistors and magnetic core memory.
These machines remained the mainstream design into the late 1960s, when
integrated circuits started appearing and led to the third-generation machines.
Because the transistor was so much smaller and
consumed significantly less power, a computer system built with transistors was
also much smaller, faster, and more efficient than a computer system built with
vacuum tubes.
