The term "fifth generation" was intended to convey the system as being advanced: In the [[history of computing hardware]], there were four "generations" of computers. Computers using [[vacuum tube]]s were called the first generation; [[transistor]]s and [[diode]]s, the second; [[integrated circuit]]s, the third; and those using [[microprocessor]]s, the fourth. Whereas previous computer generations had focused on increasing the number of logic elements in a single CPU, the fifth generation, it was widely believed at the time, would instead turn to massive numbers of CPUs to gain performance.{{Citation needed|date=October 2023}}

Microprocessor was used to integrate circuits in other for the hardware and software to work properly without distraction.
