The IBM 604 is an early vacuum tube-based computer designed by IBM, introduced in the mid-1950s. It was part of the IBM 600 series and was notable for being one of IBM's first commercial computers to use magnetic core memory, which significantly improved performance and reliability over previous models using only vacuum tubes for processing. The IBM 604 was specifically designed to perform high-speed calculations and was particularly popular in scientific and engineering applications.
