netburst was trash
P4 was the greatest air heating system ever produced by Intel. Its usefulness for computing was a side effect.

It was the worst in its time.
The pentium 3 was better than it on some aspects.
Thats why core2 and i think today's core i cpu's are based on the pentium 3 arch.
Also amd was good back then.
>>54793241
>today's core i cpu's are based on the pentium 3 arch
No they aren't.
>>54793158
No, it was always the 2500k.
Always.
>>54793258
They are netburst right :^)?
Big pipelines give big clocks :^)
Big clocks good :^)
Gigahertz! :^)
ipc?
iPc?
Apple pc? :^)
>>54793241
>Also amd was good back then.
Here's the sad thing. Only barely. The netburst turds could compete with AMD. Yea they took more power, but Intel was ahead in benchmarks every now and then.
Which p4 was better, northwood or prescott?
I remember getting prescott because it was newer, but I still don't know if it was a good decision.
It's a meme, nobody's serious when they say bentium 4 is the best processor ever.
>>54793258
They are, Core2 was a development of the Pentium M which was just a hyped-up Tualatin core with some Pentium 4 features.
>>54794187
prescott is where the P4's housefire memes come from
northwood and willamette were both reasonably cool
>>54794187
Prescott, technically. I doubt you'll find anyone who likes prescott more than Northwood though.
>>54794146
I dont remember that.
I remember amd selling stuff that was clocked lower and that was cheaper yet managed to beat its intel equivalent.
Also intel was just shitting die shrinks relatively fast yet it wasnt enough to compete.
Also "extreme gaymers xdddddd" used to overclock amd's cpus to the same freq as intel's competitors, managing to keep a good power usage
>>54794250
It was a housefire with a box cooler. 75+ degrees idle, 90+ under load.
Then I bought this beauty, and temp dropped to ~60 idle.
>>54794296
I'm not talking "equivalent" and "saving a few pennies", I'm talking about performance. Intel netburst turds were keeping up and at times ahead of AMD offerings.
Yes they were doing like 140W, yes they were often more expensive, but that's hell of a lot better than what AMD is like today.
And that's sad.
Also Intel CPUs could be overclocked too. Granted you needed monster cooling, but a netburst celeron held the world OC record for a long time at 7GHz.
I had a P4 Northwood from 2004-2008. I have no complaints about it. When I first switched to C2D I couldn't really tell the difference in productivity tasks/music/internet. Even my Pentium III with Windows 98 was awesome. Before that my Macintosh Performa was fine, etc. As long as your hardware isn't more than a decade old you are generally fine. This laptop I am typing on is from 2008 and it's super.
>>54794385
Using that logic then the fx 9590 is the best.
Its a bit expensive and its hot, but the sheer multicore performance is more than intel's.
Also back then everything was single core, ipc was the only important thing, clockspeed was irrelevant.
Ah celerons, those were nice, now they are just the bonel core i think?
Nothing spectacular.
>but that's hell of a lot better than what AMD is like today.
explain yourself.
>>54794833
You literally made me look up the benchmarks of the fx 9590 and it got solidly beaten by Intel processors, and I wasn't even looking at something like i7-5960X.
>>54794982
In a biased single-core dependent benchmark amirite?

p3 was master race
That whole slot thing was a huge fuckup though.
cycle per cycle p3 outperformed p4 most of the time
>>54795095
the slot thing wasn't really a fuckup, it was a pretty good compromise between the slow as balls external L2 cache Socket 7 systems generally used and the fast, complicated and ultra-expensive MMC design of the Pentium Pro
Intel's marketing is another story though, as always

>using the smiley with a carat nose
The p4 was the bulldozer of its time. Completely fucking wrecked by the athlon 64. It was like the 8150 vs the 2500k but in reverse
>>54796307
http://techreport.com/review/5885/amd-opteron-148-and-248-processors
Every benchmark/review I've ever looked at hasn't really shown the 64 kicking serious ass like /g/ implies it does, those Opterons were still bitchin' workstation chips though if you found the right applications for them, for servers though they were still kind of shit, Intel had 64-bit extensions pretty soon after on Xeons which also had much larger caches and better SMP capability.
>>54793266
2500k or 2600k, Sandy Bridge was a hell of a breakthrough in processors, hell even the i3 was good.

said fucking who?
both the predecessor and successor where liked far more than any pentium 4
>>54794146
>Only barely. The netburst turds could compete with AMD. Yea they took more power, but Intel was ahead in benchmarks every now and then.
The only P4s that were "keeping up" with AMD were literally the Pentium 4 Extreme Editions that cost a lot more than the already very expensive Athlon 64 FX series.
Also the P4 EE processors were thermally like mini nuclear power reactors. 115W per core.
>that feel when Intel's Extreme Edition processors are outperformed by AMD's performance processors
>that feel when Intel's Extreme Edition processors outperformed by AMD's mainstream processors
>that feel when Intel's Extreme Edition processors are outperformed by their own laptop processors
Truly Intel's greatest moment. RIP netbust

>>54796657
Fucking kek'd hard, I knew the Athlon 64 kicked P4 ass, but seriously Intel's own fucking laptop processors beat those things?
>>54793158
it's hot enough to power an oven if you know what i mean.
the Athlon 64 was better, and so was the Athlon XP
>>54796772
Pentium D has higher ipc and ran cooler
>>54796828
I know, I had a Pentium D OptiPlex at one point. I remember laughing at P4s 10 years ago.
>>54796835
yeah, P6 was trully a good arch
>>54796772
The Pentium M were great chips, the basis for the Core series
>>54793158
>>54793179
>>54793188
>MFW I had an overclocked P4 box that I put a 480 in.
Minnesota in January and my room never dropped below 75 while gaming. Shit was cash. Then June came around and my p4 non metaphorically melted.
I was using one of those 2000s as fuck clear acrylic cases too. I was a ricer before I even knew what ricing was.
>>54796828
I had a Pentium d 805 over clocked to 4.3 well into 2011. I honestly had no real complaints, it ran everything pretty well but was just very hot.
>>54796871
If you had another 480 in SLI you could have burnt the entire town.
Ahh the P4 days. My first desktop ever was bought by my parents for me when I was 12. Gateway. P4 3.2ghz, 4gb DDR, 160GB hdd. Motherboard had some built in gpu.
Ahh the memories of playing World of Warcraft @ 19 fps on 800x600 crt monitor. Lowest settings possible. In a non populated area. When I got older, around 14, I was looking to buy a video card. Something agp based. Was about to pull the trigger on some ati Something or another but then something pcie standard became the new hot thing. So I hesitated.
>>54793192
Agreed - dat cache... Great CPU. Matches i5 performance in some areas even today.
>>54793158
nah not really
>>54796915
Based as fuck. Kaby Lake will probably be latest iteration on that roadmap.
I wonder what would happen if we could take many old CPUs and have them use DDR3 RAM instead of the shitty SDRAM/DDR1 they used at their time
>>54796885
i saved money in 2014 when i was in college and did this, 3 way sli since i couldnt find much 480's
It was a pentium 4 at 2.4 idk what architecture.
The fans were at 100% at all times.
It throttled every 7 mins.
Benchmarks crashed.
If you layed an slice of pizza on the mobo side of the case it literally heated up.
I didnt get the chance to check the case temps with those Infrared things but speccy reported 90ºC while running fucking flash games or copying files.
Playing tf2 it mobo temps easily reached 120ºC it could evaporate water.
The cpu and gpu temps were bugged on speccy since it used to read 500ºC+ but they incredible temps.
I used the evga's 480's
That pc lasted like 2 weeks.
>>54796885
I actually did run dual 480s for a couple of months several years later. I don't remember what CPU/mobo I had at that time though. Friend gave me his when he upgraded, and then I upgraded as well.
90% sure I still have those things in a box somewhere. I also have a 460 I threw into a budget build for one of my relatives a few years ago. You can say what you want about fermi and fires, some of it's deserved, but they've all been damned reliable cards. Only a few people I know have ever had them break, and it was due to ridiculous circumstances. They just werked.
>>54796965
>That pc lasted like 2 weeks.
top kek
>>54796828
>Pentium D has higher ipc and ran cooler
No they didn't. This is just delusional. Pentium D is nothing more than two Pentium 4s stuck together, the two cores can't even communicate with each other.
Some motherboards actually think Pentium D is nothing more than SMP two separate processors.
The only cool running Pentium Ds were the 65nm ones but there were also Cedar Mill Pentium 4s that also ran cool. Shame this was in 2006 when their performance by then was absolutely fucking garbage.
>>54795095
P3 is masterrace, slots weren't so bad though. Had a dual slot 1 with 733s, it was a Tyan board. S1667 maybe? Was silky smooth running windows 2000. I remember you could get slot 1 cards with socket 370s on them. Always wondered if it would work in my dually.
>>54796128
Had a dual pentium pro board as well, also a tyan. Maybe a Tyan tiger 133? Had dual replaceable vrms. Used to take them out and dust them.
>pipeline longer than global petroleum industry put together
>greatest
>>54794232
kinda.
The Core micro-architecture was based on a re-worked Pentium Pro architecture, with emphasis on including Pentium M features on new silicon.
Ultimately, all CPU's built since the Core Solo are a heavily modified Pentium Pro architecture.
The Pentium Pro was effectively the sixth generation of the x86. As such, current processors are still considered i686, because of their common ancestor.
