They no longer make CPUs like they used too.I had this in the early 00s, and could handle everything I needed from it.
BACK IN MY DAY WE HAD REAL CPUS FOR REAL MEN, NONE OF THIS 16 CORE NONSENSE!!
real men never needed more than 1mb cache
>>103244636P4 was disaster. It was so slow their Celeron M mobile cpus were faster. Intel abandoned the entire p4 architecture and reverted to the p3 architecture.
back in my day we had a 233 mhz 21066A and we liked itthose compliced cisc to risc dynamic tranny chips were supposed to lose
>>103244636your 68W CPUs performance can now be achieved with 3W of power. your dinosaur belongs underground as do you
>>103245001This. It’s not the hardware you should long for.
>>103244636I have nostalgia for the time when I had a 486 dx/2 66mhz rig but there was times it could not do what I wanted out of it. I remember getting a racing game 3-pack for Christmas (it included test drive off-road) and it simply wouldn't run on it.modern computers are so much easier in that regard
>>103244875It's true though, if you need more cores, just add more sockets. If you need more than 4, create a beowulf cluster.
>>103244636>and could handle everything I needed from it.You mean shitposting and slacking off?
>>103245001>>103245041Extremely good posts.
>>103244636They were ass. HDDs were ass too. Fuck those years
>>103244968i still remember some of the /g/ jokes back when the pentium 4 was still a thing/recent
>>103244636This is an AMD board fag
did anyone here ever get the early RD-RAM Bentium 4 systems? i've never seen one
What's the fastest single core CPU they ever made before it all became about multicore?
>>103246034the last one i believe was the Core2Solo T1500 (2006), so probably that
>>103246064Core Solo*, not 2actually, there's also the celeron 445 (2008), which could be the last single core one they made, but it's not a regular consumer motherboard chip (socket)https://www.techpowerup.com/cpu-specs/celeron-445.c840
>>103244636And yet it couldn't handle games like Farcry 1...
pentium 4 was what made me switch to amd
>>103245001can i use windows 2000 or xp on this 3w thing?
>>103246141Games are run in a console.
Longer pipeline for PIPELINE GOD.
>>103246658the computer is a series of hyper pipelines
>>103245398>create a beowulf cluster.you just gave me such a nostalgia trip.
>>103246034Celeron G470, Sandy Bridge
>>103245766What jokes do you remember
>>103246658>>103246880
Are we really doing the whole "pretend pentium 4 was good" thing? Just how irony poisoned are you?
>>103244636> and could handle everything I needed from itso is your current cpu and the cpu a year before it and the cpu a year before it. stop being a consuumerist faggot.
>>103248284>using anything beyond 2nd gen intel.
>>103245716yeah but hdd disk drives still have their uses especially if all you're doing sequential reads like for a media server
>>103246169Yes. You can even use both at the same time with virtualization. We live in the future old man.
>>103245001Less.
Intel still makes spaceheaters tho
>>103244636Shitburst was always shit. Absolutely hated Pentium 4 with it's sauna stove -like tendencies.
P4 was a mistake. I used a Pentium III 650 from 1999 to 2007. Then got myself a AMD Athlon X2 4000. Didn't miss a thing.
>>103245997Yeah. My dad and I went to PC world around 2001ish and I had the choice between a 1.4ghz AMD HP brand desktop or the more expensive 1.7ghz Intel Advent brand desktop. I went for the 1.7ghz Intel. The on off button stopped working 3 times, went through 3 RMAs. The 4th machine continued to work. As a further kick to my ignorant 12 year old balls this machine came with Windows Millennium edition.<Old knight from Indiana Jones saying he chose poorly>
>>103244636This does the job.
>>103248034And then they decided putting two of them on the same cpu was an even better idea to compete with the AMD64x2, but at least that was the die shrunk Presler/Cedar Mill cores.Crazy times.
>>103250517that's not netburst
>>103244875It had 1 core and 1 thread and 16 megabytes of memory and we liked it
>>103250567Never mind, i just refreshed my memory a little, the first Pentium D's were indeed just two Prescott cores on the same die.
>>103250567Heh, had the Smithfield 820, dual Prescotts baby running at a smoking hot 2.8Ghz
>>103244636it's the same as what happened with automobiles & freeways/infrastructure in the US.>hardware gets good>good hardware allows shit software and dependency sprawl>dependency sprawl becomes inherent to software, NECESSITATES good hardware>hardware becomes super expensive and stops improving in meaningful ways
>>103250848javascript was a fucking mistake, remember when a Pentium III Coppermine was all you needed to browse the web?YEAH, ME TOO
>>103244636I thought N4200 were on par with P4s
>>103250572it's a selling point
>>103250898I was still using a P3 to browse and IRC in bed up until 2010, because it ran fine with passive cooling and a passive dc-dc powersupply, but even that was pushing it with most mainstream pages.
>>103244636Why the fuck would you pick Intel's mistake as an example of the good old days?
>>103251710Shit-tier JS websites started becoming popular after Conroe went mainstream after 2008 because "muh single core performance" and "muh event loop"
