The sixth generation it could be defined as the era of intelligent
computers, based on artificial neural networks or “artificial brains”.
They
would be computers that use superconductors as raw material for its processors, which
would allow not to waste electricity into heat due to no resistance, get
performance and saving energy. The performance gain
would be about 30 times that of a same frequency processor using base metals.
All this is in full swing, at the moment the only developments have
been the use of parallel processors, that is, the division of tasks across multiple processing units operating
simultaneously. Another
novelty is the incorporation of specialized processors chips in the work of
video and sound.
