3rd Generation of Computers Group 6

The 3rd generation of computers, developed between 1965 and 1971 by Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce, introduced integrated circuits, enhancing speed, reliability, and memory capacity. These computers offered significant advantages such as reduced energy consumption, improved portability, and better accuracy, while also allowing for automation and versatility in tasks. However, they required sophisticated technology for manufacturing and maintenance, and air-conditioning was necessary for operation.

3rd GENERATION OF
COMPUTERS

By: Jack Kilby & Robert


Noyce
Period: 1965 - 1971
3rd Generation of
•Computers
third generation computers start
using integrated circuits instead of
transistors.
• The integrated circuit (IC) is a
semiconductor material, that
contains thousands of transistors
miniaturized in it.
• Because of IC, the computer
becomes more reliable, fast,
From to Integrated
transistor Circuit

(compared to a
Characteristic of 3rd Generation
of Computer
The characteristics of the computer
are:
1. Speed: a computer processes
the data at an unimaginable
speed. The speed of the
computer ranges up to
Nanoseconds.
2. Reliability: The next important
Characteristic of 3rd Generation
3. Memoryofcapacity:
Computer The memory
capacity of a computer is
measured in bits and bytes.
Large amount of the data can be
stored in computer and retrieved.
Memory capacity of the computer
ranges in Giga bytes.
4. Accuracy: Accuracy of the
Characteristic of 3rd Generation
of Computer
5. Automation: A computer allows
automation for any process
designed in the form of a
program. A program can be
executed any number of times to
repeat the process.
6. Functionality: Computer can
performs many kinds of jobs. It not
Characteristic of 3rd Generation
of Computer
7. Tirelessness: A computer never
get tired.
Advantages of 3rd Generation of
Computer
• The reliability of the computers
increased with the introduction of
the third generation
• The energy consumption was less
by these computers and the
generation of heat was also
reduced
Advantages of 3rd Generation of
Computer
• The portability of these
computers was more as
compared to the computers of the
previous generation
• These computers have better
speed and can calculate the data
in nanoseconds
Advantages of 3rd Generation of
Computer
• Better storage capacity and used
magnetic disk/tape drives
• It used both languages both
machine and assembly level
• The accuracy of these computers
was improved
Advantages of 3rd Generation of
Computer
• Usage of keyboards and monitors
for input purposes was
introduced
• Maintenance cost was reduced
• They were versatile, we’re able to
do different types of tasks
Advantages of 3rd Generation of
Computer
• It takes lesser time for
computation that the previous
generations
• The processing was faster
• The computers were less inclined
toward the programming errors
• Reduction in the rate of hardware
Disdvantages of 3rd Generation of
Computer

• It requires air-conditioning
• To manufacture IC (Integrated
Circuit), highly sophisticated
technology was required
• Maintaining IC chips were difficult
