Organization of The IBM Personal Computer: Evolution of Microprocessors Lecture#05

This document discusses the evolution of Intel microprocessors from 1971 to 2002. It describes each major Intel microprocessor generation from the 4004 (4-bit) to the Pentium IV (32-bit), noting the year introduced, memory capacity, clock speed, and key features. Major milestones included the 8086/8088 being the first 16-bit chips, the 80386 introducing 32-bit architecture, and the Pentium generations driving higher clock speeds and on-chip caches.
