Most people in industrialised countries own more computers in embedded systems in their car and house, than on their desks.
Processor clock speeds increased by more than tenfold between 1990 and 1999, and 64-bit processors began to emerge later in the decade. In the 1990s, microprocessors no longer used the same clock speed for the processor and the RAM. Processors began to have a front-side bus (FSB) clock speed used in communication with RAM and other components ...
A different model of computer use was foreshadowed by the way in which early, pre-commercial, experimental computers were used, where one user had exclusive use of a processor. [36] Some of the first computers that might be called "personal" were early minicomputers such as the LINC and PDP-8 , and later on VAX and larger minicomputers from ...
