Best CPU of all time? Pic unrelated

Those alternative chips were fine and dandy for running windows and office stuffs, but nobody was expecting that high performance floating point performance was going to be something the end user would need, namely quake.

the 2500k/2600k cpus are universally accepted as the greatest CPU ever made. If you are ranking based on longevity, power, overclocking ability, and temps

It wasn't until the release of the 1080ti did people start seeing small bottlenecks and even then it wasn't bad.

Blessed Shakti CPU because it transcends space and time. It has always and never existed. It contains all modes of CPU. Every CPU in history emanates from glorious Shakti CPU.

Funny way of spelling Z80.

Sure, and it's good. OC to 3GHz on any board is also piss easy. I just wish my system could handle more than 8GB RAM

Oh shit, the fun will begin now.

Best for what? It's technically whatever has the most power at the time, but honestly I've never felt a need to upgrade my FX 6300.

FP was always a big deal, it just depended on what you were doing. The 6x86 was definitely still fine for a lot of typical desktop work though.

does the PDP-11 count as a CPU? i know they made single chip versions of it later (J-11 etc)

FP was not a big deal for regular consumers until quake became a thing.
It was mostly a CAD user thing, which is why floating point was sold separately until the 486DX

I had pretty badass non-x86 workstation back in the day. Intel bought the IP just to steal a few tricks then shitcan the product line so it wouldn't keep taking market share from them.

m68k is up there. I like ColdFire, which is simplified m68k.

Even more depressing: they were nearly done their next design, which was 4-way SMT, and with vector extensions and multicore planned next.
We could have had 2c8t 4ghz desktops in like 2005.

fuck yeah haswell

This CPU was quite bad.
The plan was great and it worked like a charm, "we sacrifice performance on this chip to make it as futureproof as possible to lock people in the arch".
But they sacrificed quite a bit of performance for it.

>unrionically suggesting Sandy Bridge
You faggots are insufferable. It didn't bring anything new to the table, it was just a pretty efficient quad core at the time.

it was a champion that ruled my household for many years

Nah, Alpha was already dying by the time Compaq sold it off. Those architectures were worthless in the 2000s.

Not all CPUs are microprocessors, my man.
Yeah, regular consumers didn't typically care, but FP was important for all kinds of computing beyond just the consumers playing video games or dicking around in CAD software, that's all I'm saying.

I know, but back then, "all kinds of computing" were done on bigger machines, not desktop computers.
You know, SGI boxes.
Very few people back then had the "and they will use our chip to do 3D movies" in their heads.
It was more of a "Oh gosh, intel is abandoning the 486 platform, lets make a chip on it that is FAST for the shit people want to do".

This.

In the '70s and most of the '80s sure, but in the '90s not quite as much. Even before workstations and small servers there were plenty of people out there trying to shoehorn big iron workloads onto their desks. But at this point I'm just being a tryhard, on the whole you're still right, I just wanted to post some random images of cool shit.

The problem with FPU was, I believe, that it couldn't work simulatenously with the integer core, the whole CPU had to hold and wait for FPU result while on Pentium it was just going on about its business while FPU was doing its job. Really shit design for those other chips.

Ah you're that ruskie plebeian with no calculator

Absolutely the best chip at the dawn of high core counts.

It sucks that AMD completely fucked up the 1st gen Phenom. It'd have been a worthy competitor to C2Q. By the time they got Phenom II right it was already too late.

going from q9450 to 3600 today
I was ready to kill myself

Enjoy your AIDS... retard.

3700x will be the new i7-2500. get one now and you'll be set for the next 10 years.
PS5 and Scarlett settled on 8c/16t and moore's law is dead anyway.

no, it will be the new q6600
things are about to heat up in the next 3-5 years

Wrong

Its the new Athlon, it will be phased out in a couple of years when Intel finally puts out a non-14nm+++++ processor

Its even worse if Intel leapfrogs to 7nm

>when Intel finally puts out a non-14nm+++++ processor
But it's not the 14nm++++ (which still performs better - power consumption aside - than TSMC's 7nm) that's the problem, but Intel's stagnated architecture full of holes, fixing which will cause only more performance drawbacks.

They can use the 14nm, they "just" need a new architecture free of all the barriers and problems of the whole Core shitstorm.

>sis 530
The video circuitry of this integrated chip was wonderful.
And by wonderful i mean absolutely horrible, but it was so horrible it was funny.
It was so bad, it actually added some per pixel wiggling to the textures, as if it was some sort of "draft quality rendering".
But at least was fast enough to deliver CS 1.6 at 30 FPS in 640x480.

>Its even worse if Intel leapfrogs to 7nm
They'll just run into the same heat/area issues as AMD have. Smaller process isn't a magical solution to heat, it only reduces the total heat output a little but condenses it in a far smaller area.

Pentium Pro
Athlon 64
Core 2
Nehalem
Sandy Bridge
Zen 2

While a lot of CPUs are important, specifically the 6502, 8086/8088, and Mot68k...
This one has had a lasting impact on what we use today:

>get one now and you'll be set for the next 10 years.
kek, you people have no idea what you're talking about. Specialized chiplets, 3D stacking chips, active interposers, etc. are closer than you think. The 3950x is going to look like an entry to mid level CPU in 5 years.

yeah it's what I used to post form the space station.

It's a tie between 286, 386 and 486, without this family it would have taken the PC another decade to take off.
t. old cunt that started on a 386 with a 20mb HDD.

Ah, a man of taste.

>It's a tie between 286, 386 and 486, without this family it would have taken the PC another decade to take off.
It still would have happened, but with the m68k series instead.

i'm so glad moores law is dead.
