1) List the Intel Processor Generations up-to-date. Give their generation names & key

features.

Intel Processor Generations:

1st Generation (2006):

Features: Introduced the Core microarchitecture, dual-core processors, and the Core 2 Duo series.

2nd Generation (2011):

Features: Improved performance and power efficiency with the Sandy Bridge microarchitecture,
introduction of Turbo Boost technology.

3rd Generation (2012):

Features: Ivy Bridge microarchitecture, enhanced graphics performance, introduction of USB 3.0
support.

4th Generation (2013):

Features: Haswell microarchitecture, improved power efficiency, introduction of DDR4 support in later
models.

5th Generation (2015):

Features: Broadwell microarchitecture, further improvements in power efficiency and integrated

graphics performance.

6th Generation (2015):

Features: Skylake microarchitecture, introduction of DDR4 memory support, enhanced graphics

performance.

7th Generation (2017):

Features: Kaby Lake microarchitecture, improved CPU clock speeds, enhanced 4K video playback
support.

8th Generation (2017):

Features: Coffee Lake microarchitecture, increased core counts for mainstream processors, improved
gaming performance.

9th Generation (2018):

Features: Refresh of Coffee Lake microarchitecture, introduction of 8-core processors for mainstream
users.

10th Generation (2019):

Features: Comet Lake microarchitecture, further improvements in core counts and clock speeds,
introduction of Wi-Fi 6 support.

11th Generation (2020):

Features: Tiger Lake microarchitecture, enhanced AI capabilities, improved integrated graphics with
Intel Xe architecture.

12th Generation (2021):

Features: Alder Lake microarchitecture, introduction of hybrid architecture with high-performance and
high-efficiency cores, DDR5 and PCIe 5.0 support.

2) Differentiate early processors from the recent ones. Site key characteristics that were

added or highlighted.

Early processors:

- Generally had lower clock speeds and fewer cores.

- Limited support for advanced technologies like Turbo Boost, hyper-threading, and DDR4 memory.

- Older manufacturing processes led to higher power consumption and heat output.

Recent processors:

- Higher core counts and clock speeds for improved multitasking and overall performance.

- Support for advanced technologies like Turbo Boost, hyper-threading, DDR4/DDR5 memory, and PCIe
4.0/5.0.

- Improved power efficiency and thermal management due to advancements in microarchitecture and
manufacturing processes.

3) It's important to be updated in the recent build of processors available in the market.
