What's the best cpu of all time, /g/?
Personally, Phenom II x4 955&i5-2500K are my favourites.
Q6600
>>54776363
I7 870
>>54776363
>>54776628
These 3 were always top bang for buck and had fantastic longevity (with 2500K arguably not yet obsolete).
Pentium 4 Willamette
DEC Alpha
PROTIP: if you say anything by Intel, you're a tech illiterate.
>>54776363
Obviously Itanium
Athlon 64
>>54776628
Why not 9400?

i7 870 still going strong
>>54776363
The 33Mhz 68040 in a 6 processor Quadra 950. Ripped the sh*t...
AMD 860k.
Because even when you're a poorfag AMD still got your back.

Are you 12 or just fucking retarded?
>>54777001
sh*t your piehole
>>54777544
Confirmed for fucking retarded.
>>54777571
ur m*m is fucking retarded.
The AMD x4 860k is pretty solid most of the time, but would require water cooling for heavy loads. So far this is the best cpu I've used.
>>54776363
I'm still rocking a Phenom II x4 965 Black Edition OC'd to 4.0 GHz. Using EVGA's stock 980 I get pretty average performance (Around 60-50 on Dark Souls 3 on High). I really need to jump to Intel at some point.

Give that machine some love. Those beast do nice systems free from Intel ME domination.

xeon e5450
Still actually useful after nearly 10 years with good bench performance
>>54779677
Will do, if all else fails I finally have an excuse to pick up a G5 quad
>>54776932
Mein fellow poorfriend.
any core 2 quad
>>54776363
the Athlon X4.

obviously the i5-2500k
that beast is famous for its overclock-potential
>>54782258
also, released in quartal 1 of 2011 and still a solid CPU that can handle all games you throw at it (probably for many years to come)
in fact, there's not even an actual reason to overclock it
>>54782282
>natural selection 2 and games which are CPU bound for core clock speed.
>>54776363
>Phenom II x4 955
I have it with Radeon HD 7870 and 8GB RAM. Still kicks ass.
>>54776363
Phenom II 960T
It was a hexacore that was sold as a quad, but could be unlocked in bios. I still have one that's collecting dust in a closet.
This thing changed everything.
What's the smart buy today, last gen Xeons still?
would i be lucky if i found a 2500k in one of my two old pcs laying around?
>>54776363
>no E8400
>trash thread
I never even had one, it's just common sense
>>54782002
>Not superior Barton with 512KB L2
top pleb
and compared with the Celeron for the same price that the poorfags could barely afford? A Pentium 4 C at 2.6Ghz wipes the floor with it.
The Athlon XP was a wonder price-performance, but the real deal that "murdered" Intel was the Athlon 64.

>>54776363
>2500k
the first time intel decided on fucking it customers by locking their product down, forcing you to pay 20% more just for 1-5% overclocking potential
>best cpu of all time
kill yourself you worthless sackof shit. stupid fucks like you are the reason the market has become a stagnant cashcow milking consumers without any actual performance increases for half a decade now.
>>54784492
No, AMD is the reason the market has become a stagnant cashcow etc
>>54783557
Mein freund you are awesome. I really want to build a decent second AMD rig, currently rocking a pentium g3258 @ 4.8Ghz with an R9 390 (bottleneck lol) but i will upgrade to ZEN when it releases.
>>54776363
the modified Pentium III created by part of the joint project X2000
(didn't find the official designation, they just call Pentium III in most of the papers)
550MZ of pure speed, with deep space radiation shielding & EMP resistance, a 0.35-micron manufacturing process, an undisclosed number of addition cores for sub-processes, and more software support than any CPU in recorded history (fully comparable with prior Pentium III instruction), all with a continued active support plan of 40 years by NASA and the DoD for advanced and future critical needs.
it is the new* standard of shit got to keep working forever regardless of nuclear war or alien invasion
*1998 at time of announcement with scheduled release date sometime in 2001

Anyone who falls for the waiting meme is retarded.
>>54784942
If you want Zen to fail then you must enjoy being cucked by Intel. Market stagnation is bad for everyone except Intel themselves.
>>54784981
>wanting Zen to fail
>telling what CPU designers have been speculating since March
Zen will only fail if they charge $500+ for the full Summit Ridge SKU and $200+ for the motherboards.
But no one is expecting the eight-core Zen to beat their Broadwell-E or Haswell-E equivalent in either single-threaded or multi-threaded performance. Even with the IPC catch-up, they still can't best Haswell.
>>54776363
Phenom II X6 1090T.
Still a decent CPU in 2016. Was using one until recently when I upgraded to Memelake.
I have a question;
Does anyone know where one can pick up Skylake Xeon V5's in the US and UK?
>>54784981
What if I work for Intel? :^)
Best: whichever one I bought.
Worst: whichever one you bought (unless it's the same as mine in which case - my nigga)

Got mine on air cooling at 3.7ghz and its dominating total war warhammer. Such a beautiful beast.
What temp range under load should I be looking at to keep it alive for at least 1 more year?
>>54785398
It's "carrot" you fucking idiot
>>54776628
I had a Q6600, sold it and got a FX 6300 right away, never regret it, served me many years.
>>54776628
I can't fucking believe someone who was completely right also managed to be the first reply.
>>54785097
Market stagnation sucks if you work for Intel since they'd have less reason to keep you employed if they don't have anybody to compete with. What purpose do you serve if they don't have to work as hard to be at the top?
They could just cut back hard on everything and keep raking it in.
>>54787191
What if I'm on the board? :^)
