Based on a thread at another forum I frequent, I thought it might be fun to go down memory lane and recall the various CPU's we've used over the course of our computing history.


1981: TI-99/4A - TI TMS9900

1990: Apple ][+ - MOS 6502

1991: TI XT Clone - Intel 8086-8MHz

1992: Zenith ZWX-0248 PC - Intel 80286-12MHz

1993: Self-built PC - Intel 80486SX-25MHz

1995: Self-built PC - AMD AM486DX2-50MHz

1996: Self-built PC - AMD AM5x86-P75 133MHz

1998: Self-built PC - AMD K6-233MHz

1999: Self-built PC - Intel Celeron 300a @ 450MHz

2001: Self-built PC - AMD Athlon 700 @ 933MHz

2005: Self-built PC - AMD Athlon 64 3200+ @ 2GHz

2007: Self-built PC - AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ @ 2.2GHz

2009: Sager NP2096 - Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 @ 2.4GHz

2012: Self-built PC - Intel Core i5-2500K @ 3.3GHz

2001: Self-built PC - AMD Athlon Thunderbird 1.2 Ghz

2004: Self-built PC - Intel Pentium 4 Northwood C 2.8 Ghz

2010: Self-built PC - Intel Core i7 930 Gulftown 2.8 Ghz

EDIT: I didn't include the CPUs from my laptops since I didn't build those.

Celeron 566 mhz
Athlon XP 1600
P4 2.6 ghz northwood
Athlon X2 5200
C2D E8400
Zeon 3220 (server version of the Q6600)
C2Q Q9650
I7 2600K
i7 860(bought used, back up computer/cruncher)


and tomorrow I should be putting together a FX6200 system that I'll get to play with for acouple days before handing it over to my cousin

General Instrument CP1610 16-Bit-Mikroprozessor CPU at 894,886 KHz (Mattel Intellivision)
Z80 4 MHz (Schneider/Amstrad CPC 464)
Motorola 68000 (Amiga 500 and later Amiga 500+ bcs my old Amiga 500 got roasted by a "Friend")
Motorola 68030 (Amiga 500 Accelerator Board with ~30MHz - only short in use as it was roasted with my A500)
Suntac 286 AT 12 MHz (IBM compatible PC)
Intel 386 dx 33 plus Cyrix Math Co Processor bought for Falcon 3.0 (mmmmh...what a difference it made)
Intel 486 dx 50 (on a special 50 MHz Vesa Local BUS board beating all the wanna be faster 486 dx2 66 in any game - a huge advantage in Doom)
Intel 486 dx2 100 (used on the 50MHz board)
AMD 486 dx4 133 on my first PCI board (Pentium? Who needs a toaster under the desk?)
AMD K6 166
AMD K6-2 400
AMD Duron 600
AMD Athlon XP 1700+
AMD Athlon XP 3000+
AMD Opteron Dual Core 2400 MHz (oc to 2800)
AMD x4 9850 2500 MHz
AMD x4 940 PII 3000 MHz
AMD x4 975 PII 3600 MHz (mainly bcs i had some fun while building it and it needs ~1/3 less power than the x4 940 system which had also many very old parts as i allways had upgradet partially from my old systems - HDs, RAM, PSU, Cables something from 6 to 15 and more years old - time to make a start over with a clean new build)
