A vacuum-tube computer, now termed a first-generation computer, is a computer that uses vacuum tubes for logic circuitry. While the history of mechanical aids to computation goes back centuries , if not millennia , the history of vacuum tube computers is confined to the middle of the 20th century.

Based on Texas Instruments's own TMS9900 microprocessor originally used in minicomputers, the TI-99/4 was the first 16-bit home computer. [3] The associated TMS9918 video display controller provides color graphics and sprite support which were only comparable with those of the Atari 400 and 800 released a month later.
CPU uses Zen4 cores (Phoenix) or a combination of Zen4 and Zen4c cores (Phoenix2). GPU uses the RDNA 3 (Navi 3) architecture. Some models include first generation Ryzen AI NPU (XDNA). All models support AVX-512 using a half-width 256-bit FPU. PCIe 4.0 support. Native USB 4 (40Gbps) Ports: 2; Native USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) Ports: 2
Similarly, indirect addressing became more common in the second generation, either in conjunction with index registers or instead of them. While first-generation computers typically had a small number of index registers or none, several lines of second-generation computers had large numbers of index registers, e.g., Atlas, Bendix G-20, IBM 7070.
Interior of the 6502 Second Processor. The 6502 Second Processor (using a 6502C) was clocked at 3 MHz, a full 50% faster than the 6502 inside a BBC Model B, and also had 64 KB of RAM, of which typically 30–44 KB was free for application data (compared to as little as 8.5 KB on an unexpanded Model B in graphics mode, or only 5.75 KB with the disc interface).
Check your portable monitor’s inputs and ports to see if it’ll work with your laptop, smartphone, or gaming console. Most portable monitors link to laptops via a USB-C, HDMI, or Thunderbolt cable.
Integrated graphics chip moved from motherboard into the processor. Improved gaming performance; Can access CPU's cache; Each EU has a 128-bit wide FPU that natively executes eight 16-bit or four 32-bit operations per clock cycle. [20] Hierarchical-Z compression and fast Z clear [21]
