What CPUs would you consider iconic, usually GPU wise we say the GTX1080ti but how about CPUs
>>108920244
GTX 1080 Ti is nowhere near as "iconic" as GTX 1060, was far more common in steam survey. Same with i5-2500k instead of that i7-2700k.
>>108920542iconic != popular
>>108920244I think the most iconic GPUs aren't the ones that are big leaps up from previous generations, but that last a long time because they're followed by meagre improvements. The 1080 Ti wasn't much more than you'd expect from the next generation from the 980 Ti, but was followed by the disappointing 2000 series and then the 3000 series, which was good but impossible to buy at MSRP. CPUs have seen slow but steady growth every generation whilst not being important for gaming, so there's not really an equivalent to the 1080 Ti.If there was one, though, I think it would be the Ryzen 5 3600. It's the bests elling 6 core CPU, which is still the most common core count according the Steam hardware survey. AM4 is also the 1080 Ti of CPU sockets given how long it lasted

>>108921135P4 northwood 2,4ghzA beast for overclocking and lasted for years because devs where shit at implementing dualcore support for a long time.
>>108920244>1080ti>iconicthe only remotely iconic GPUs in the last 26 years have been the 8800gtx and the 3090 thanks to Crysis and Cyberpunk 2077 respectively. Everything else is just retards coping, wanting to believe their consumption is ordained and special. Well, it's not. The 1000 series is another in a long line of forgettable dogshit with nothing to anchor to. At least Haswell radically changed how GPUs were architected, but even they are irrelevant dogshit.
9700 Pro
For me, it's the AMD PHENOM II X4 965 BLACKED Edition.

It being what was inside your Dell prebuilt running Windows XP when you were in diapers doesn't make something notable, zoomtards.
>>108921440Mined like 15 million $ of bitcoin on a couple of these bad boys in my dorm room back in the day. Spent it all on beer.
>>108920244I've literally never heard anyone mention 2500k outside of 4chan.But iconic to me would be:386/486Pentium 1,2,3That one moment in time when AMDs were significantly better than Intels and all had names ending with 1700x or somethingThe original i3/i5Motorola 68k I guess though it's before my time.

>>108921565>I've literally never heard anyone mention 2500k outside of 4chan.Are you fucking stupid? It was recommended by most publication and a top selling CPU. It's not some 4chin secrit club.
>>108921101>i7 990xThis isn't really iconic. Its like the hyundai veloster of cpus. Nobody got one and there was better value elsewhere, but its a cool car and so is the cpu. The i7 4960X is probably the first truly iconic extreme chip.
Sandy Bridge shitting on Bulldozer. That was an amazing time.
>>108920542You totally missed the point, waterbrain.
>>108921519Smack that little bitch right up to 450 MHz.
>>108922043>Sandy Bridge shitting on Bulldozer.* in gaymez
>>108922360* in everything
It just werkz

>>108920244Duo 2 CuoI overclocked mine from 2.1GHz to 3.2 on the stock cooler. You'd never get a 50% overclock on today's CPUs
>>108922360FX series CPUs are iconic but for the wrong reasons
>>108922388Not really, newer multithreaded games actually benefit more for the cores and in some games easily beat a 2500k for example. I.e. the first new Doom game from 2016. Both are useless for everything these days.
>>1089214101080ti is iconic, dont be retarded

>>108922448My computer doesn't overclock so I use the i7 3770K's brother, the Xeon 1275 v2. The Xeon is virtually identical except the onboard graphics are clocked at 1.25 MHz instead of 1.15 on the 3770K. It also can use ECC ram if the motherboard supports it and has Trusted Execution if you need it. The price is cheaper too so it's good to keep in mind if you need an old Ivy Bridge CPU.
>>108921126no, normal people (goyim) ARE the poorfags larping as richfags and they don't buy tools, they buy a subscription and a thousand dollar cloned phone every other year.
>>108921782This. I was a kid back then but I remember the massive jump in graphics when the 8800 arrived with the unified shaders, although DX10 stole all the attention without deserving it. We have not seen such a jump in performance since then, it was indeed a golden age.>>108922942>i7 920The jump wasn't bad compared to C2Q with Penryn cores, most of the gains were thanks to ditching the FSB and implementing a memory controller in the cpu, thus decreasing latency and increasing bus bandwidth. It delivered a ~20% boost that required a whole new platform with triple channel ddr3 ram that asked for expensive 1.5v ram sticks. Most people had 1.65v ones, which were outside the Jedec standard and allowed higher frequencies; something older platforms didn't struggle with.I'd say the i7 920 had iconic changes but it wasn't an iconic processor itself.
>>108920244You posted it sandy bridge, or it's the pentium 3. For amd I would say phenom or zen 2. I think architectures are more iconic.Gpus Radeon 4890 (and all the 4800 series), 1080ti, gtx 600 series.
>>108920244i7 4790kalso matches well with 1080ti
>>108921410I specifically remember scoffing at the $1500 MSRP of the 3090 when it was announced.Then I got one a few months after launch at retail using stimmy bux, it paid for itself and then some by letting it mine crypto during the last boom, I got to play with all those cutting edge early AI models, it still runs every game totally fine, and 5 years later I'm still using it.Best value I've ever gotten out of a single PC part, and it's not even close.It's just a shame it was the beginning of the end of reasonable GPU prices.
>>108920244Maybe some Core Duo or Pentium for being in every garbage prebuilt everor 2500K/4790KThe real kings are the ryzen 1700x and 5800X3DSaved AMD followed by several years of upgradesEspecially at a time when Intel had sockets and chipsets up the wazoo
I'll go with the 5820k. It's both iconic and not.It's an absolutely amazing chip, but unfortunately most people didn't buy it because of the X99 board.Those who did got a chip that had a ton of overclocking headroom and had more cores than the other options.Basically every chip could be OC'd to 4.5-5Ghz and it either traded blows or even beat 6700k in gaming and especially won in anything productivity oriented.Had they released this chip on the consumer board it would have obsoleted almost all other consumer CPUs, while not even being more expensive.
>>108921426Insane cpu. Mine lasted 12 years and still runs a lot of new games in my backup rig.
>>108921519>not a single mention of the Celeron 300ABecause it's more of an obscure curiosity than an iconic? I don't get your point>The only "iconic" thing about the Pentium 4 is what a fetid pile of shit it wasThat's why it was iconic, more so than the Pentium III or MMX
>>108920471That was enterprise/workstation only, how is it iconic? Pentium II was the one affordable.
