>all these RISC chips that need watercooling just to avoid house fires
Why do they all run so damn hot?
>>54530192
The sign says it's from a supercomputer, I'd be more surprised if it wasn't liquid cooled.
>>54530162
This thread makes me moist.
>>54530192
RISC typically didn't have any power saving logic or hardware like CISC did. With CISC, it only used the parts of the processor that it needed to. RISC just pumped power through everything. The same shit happens with ARM, and when they try to make "server" processors with an ARM chip it's going to take twice as much power as a Xeon for comparable performance.
>>54530192
Cooper pipes are looking so damn good. If I will fall for watercool meme that would definitely be custom cooper-pipe loop.

Is there a reason modern CPUs even have pins instead of contact pads? Seems a lot harder to fuck up.
>>54530556
Pins allow you to chose and replace cpu or mobo at any time. While soldered chips pre-define your mobo and make it impossible to replace the processor or dead mobo at home. And it's allowing very flexible mobo models market.

P2s were well past DOS days, Windows 95 was released just before Pentiums became common.
>>54531204
I was talking about my experience.
I began on PB Multimedia CL with a p2 266 & 64 Mb RAM. As I kept fucking around I broke windows quite a number of times, ans that's why I learnt MS-DOS.
>>54531204
games still had dos versions when the pentium II came out, though it was near the end
though most people weren't running /only/ dos in 97-99
>>54531261
Yeah, but you ran them through Windows. I don't know of anyone who was using just DOS by 1997.
I vaguely remember needing to boot to DOS when something couldn't run in protected mode, but that was few and far between. Also, booting to DOS when you pressed F5 or F6 or something to fix a problem or some shit.
Intel Itanium 9500 has LGA pads on the top side of the package so that it can directly power and control CPU-mounted fans.
>>54531340
sometimes it was faster to run the dos version of a game, as you're avoiding windows' overhead
for example, i played the dos version of GTA1 (1997) despite the windows version being on disc, as it ran faster on my machine

Man I fucking loved the Pentium Pro I had so long ago, best pure 32-bit CPU ever manufactured. Massive performance jump over the Pentium on the same clock speed level when running 32-bit code, simply fucking awesome performance for that period of time.
Beast processor, and a damned beautiful one as well.
"The Pentium Pro is dead, long live the Pentium Pro..."
>>54531482
But, it couldn't get any traction because you needed Windows NT to take advantage of the pure 32-bit design.

I wish we didn't step away from daughter cards and shit for CPUs. It would make it a lot simpler to create a stock cooler that wasn't shit as well as open up a simple way to add on custom cooling (see: back-plates) and would also keep mobo manufacturers from being able to design shitty looking heatsinks for components that shouldn't need active cooling in the first place
Call me a faggot for the good old days, but the dolphin looked fuckin proper both with and without the deceptively simple cooling on it

True, but the GameCubes board looks more organized.

Shame about the way the whole thing actually worked, with the CPU having no direct access to RAM and having to go through the RCP, the high-latency RD-RAM, The lack of proper documentation on how the RCP if you were not Rare or Factor 5, etc.

I ran an unreal tournament server on a dual p pro server for years. Eventually upgraded it with 2 p2 overdrives.
>>54530960
It's not a custom Intel 486, it's an IBM 486.
IBM did design and make their own X86 chips in the early 90s along with many other companies.
>>54531482
But the Prentium Pro isn't dead, you're probably running one it's descendants right now.
PentiumII was just straight up PPro on a new socket with on board (later on-die) cache.
P3 was just an evolution of PII
PentiumM was an evolution of PIII
Core was an evolution of PentiumM
Core2, so on and so forth.
However PentiumPro sucked compared to the magic of PowerPC.

>Shame about the way the whole thing actually worked, with the CPU having no direct access to RAM and having to go through the RCP
Well that was just cost cutting. If you look at the motherboard you'll see the CPU doesn't have any connections extending to the RAM but only to the memory controller inside of RCP and a few pins on the cartridge slot. It's a lot cheaper if you only give RAM a single bus.
It's quite interesting because this is one of the earliest examples of unified memory, but it's an el cheapo example.
The bigger problem is that the CPU and RCP can't access RAM at the same time. So CPU performance is very much limited by how good programmers are at optimizing cache usage.
>the high-latency RD-RAM
Well it was pretty much the only RAM you could use for a unified memory system. A console of this generation needs about ~500 MB/s total of bandwidth to satisfy all of the audiovisual requirements. RDRAM was the only RAM that could serve that much bandwidth in a single allotment. But yeah, the latency was crazy. We're talking ~640ns.
In theory if you optimize your code to minimize random accesses it's quite powerful since it serves up all the speed in one go, but it's difficult to pull off.
>The lack of proper documentation on how the RCP if you were not Rare or Factor 5, etc.
RCP is an amazing chip if you know what to do with it. It's ridiculously ahead of its time. SGI were literally gods. It's virtually a perfect mid-90s GPU, only limited by the surrounding cheap N64 architecture. Good developers like Rare optimized their code to get the full power out of it.
We need die shots now.
