Hello,
any cpu history masters care to fill in the gaps for me please. I've used INTEL CPU's since the days of the original Pentium but I didn't pay much attention to them after the Northwoods . . .
here is a list of what I used myself (I skipped the Pentium2's).
P133MHz (Socket 7)
P200MHz (Socket 7)
PIII 'Coppermine' 450MHz (FC-PGA)
P4 'Northwood' 2.6GHz (Socket 478) d1
P4 'Northwood' 2.8GHz (Socket 478) m0 < - Last of my I N T E L ' s early 2004
P4 'Prescott' (Socket 478) Feb/March 2004
P4 'Prescott' (LGA775)
H A Z Y ! ! !
Rumours of Pentium M being good for games, not much mobo support
Something to do with the MHz rating being dropped, now INTELs just have model numbers, 5xxx series then 6xxx series
Hear that INTEL is dropping the Pentium brand, talk of new CORE CPU
S T I L L H A Z Y ! ! !
Then 'BAM!' Core2 Duo Frenzy - Summer 2006
So basically what happened of note between the end of socket 478 Northwood and the new LGA775 Core2 Duo?
Many thanks!
