Here's an old CPU some may be familiar with and others not. Thought I would share.
This is my PowerPC 970MP. It's a 2.5ghz 'Quadcore' - 2 CPU PowerPC processor. This was in Apple's final Power Mac G5 and it was there top of the line computer before the introduction of the Mac Pro in 2006.
This thing got so hot Apple needed to liquid cool it with a unit made by Delphi. Even liquid cooled, it still ran hot and noisy with 6 additional fans.
I gutted most of the computer to clean out the dust and troubleshoot. Thankfully I did not have any leakage which was a well documented problem with the liquid cooled G5's. Now I am putting it all back together!
I remember there was an old Anandtech article comparing the G5 was the new Mac Pro in which the Mac Pro destroyed it. Ran quieter (air cooled), drew less power, more powerful, and better interior.
The G5 was a great computer for it's time. I will be doing some benchmarks if I can get it up and running again.
