Question GREATEST CPU OF ALL TIME (DESKTOP >1999)

They can go out in a blaze of glory and/or flaming heatsinks

Nah. I think a shrunk Tejas will run cooler than a 14900KS.

Intel had high hopes for their deep pipeline P4 architecture. In 2000 they said we would be at 10GHz in 2005.

It's ok. I will forgive them if they are 20 years late next year

How convenient to post this here:

Part 2 is supposed to be about the Celeron Mendocino, that is just the Motherboard.

best longevity, price-perf ratio, bang4buck, overclockability etc

current era undisputable king of CPUs is the 5800X3D

strongest dinosaur still holding up is i7 sandy/ivy bridge (~14 yr old CPUs)

(the poll misses anything produced before 1999)

Voted for Athlon 64/X2 because I had one and was all that. Lasted 10 whole years (or more? Don't remember).

Question - Broadwell in 2022

Found these two articles by chance while searching for any CPUs where Intel may have "hidden" eDRAM. https://vprefresh.com/2021/11/24/haswell-vs-broadwell-gaming-cpus-in-2021/ https://vprefresh.com/2022/01/18/broadwell-revisit-part-2-testing-faster-ram-and-more-cpus/ 2015 CPU managing to be...

The Xeon 1285 V4 can now be had for $53 on eBay!

Come on everyone with Z97 mobos, let's upgrade them and prevent these eDRAM beauties from ending up in a landfill!

U.S. tax payers just handed out $8.5 billion to Intel. Plus untold amount of tax break. We should all remember that if and when Intel comes back!

Intel and Biden Admin Announce up to $8.5 Billion in Direct Funding Under the CHIPS Act

Proposed funding, coupled with an investment tax credit and eligibility for CHIPS Act loans, would help Intel advance American semiconductor manufacturing and technology leadership in the AI era.

As a European, I thank y'all for subsidizing my PC

Spoiler: Because it's off topic and likely widely-known here

The U.S. government has been subsidizing semiconductor manufacturing in various ways since before PCs existed. The USAF's demand for transistors more or less provided the capital for the productization of planar transistors. Fairchild, which famously spawned the many fairchildren such as Intel and AMD, was an aircraft manufacturer before it made semiconductors.

But the market grew rapidly and now the DoD is not a major source of orders. Now if they want the onshore capacity they'll have to pay.

And last I heard Germany was planning to subsidize Intel and/or TSMC with tax incentives too, though that may have been cancelled.
