This article provides a list of the generations and release dates of main Intel processors. 

• 1st Generation: Intel 4004 (1971) - The first commercially available microprocessor.
• 2nd Generation: Intel 8008 (1972) - An 8-bit microprocessor that improved upon the 4004.
• 3rd Generation: Intel 8080 (1974) - An 8-bit microprocessor that was widely used in early personal computers.
• 4th Generation: Intel 8086 (1978) - A 16-bit microprocessor that was the first in the x86 architecture used in most modern computers today.
• 5th Generation: Intel 80386 (1985) - A 32-bit microprocessor that added protected mode and virtual memory to the x86 architecture.
• 6th Generation: Intel Pentium (1993) - A line of processors that introduced several new features, including a superscalar architecture, pipelining, and out-of-order execution.
• 7th Generation: Intel Core (2006) - A line of processors that added multi-core processing and support for 64-bit operating systems.
• 8th Generation: Intel Core (2017) - A line of processors that introduced support for DDR4 memory and improved graphics performance.
