Your CPU History Tree

athlon 900 in year 2000, athlon 3200+ clawhammer in 2004, next week i7 920 @ 4ghz :D

^^ That was from 16 years ago in Feb 2010....

Still rocking my i7 920 haha, Waiting for Zen 6 X3D then i'll finally upgrade,

Never did manage to get 4ghz stable though, Maxed out at 3.6ghz but decided to run it day to day at 3.2ghz

I still have an I7 950, mobo and ram sitting in a box somewhere lol
 
In 1990 i bought a 286 / 12.5mhz ready built 40mb hdd, 1mb ram.

In 1993 I built my first one, a 486dx33

SInce then i have had a combination of Intel and AMD processors powering a long list of machines which i am too old to fully recall. Several pentiums, PII, PIII etc up to the modern day when i have an AMD Ryzen 5 series still home built.

Mostly overclocked where feasible.
 
lets see
commodore 64 (tape deck)
atari ste 1024 model iirc
packard bell sx2 50
custom made pentium 100
tiny (shudder) pIII 500mhz - I was naive back then :D
custom made (to my spec) dual cpu athlon mp 1900+
athlon 4 1200mhz in sharp laptop
(built) opteron 175 (still use)
(built) x2 4200+ (still use)

Next step is probably i7 unless the new phenom x4's really hit hard and of course the matx boards become available at normal prices :)
time for an update I suppose...last post was 26 Nov 2008...

(built) intel 4790k (still have it but not used really)
(built) ryzen 5950x (still using as main pc)
intel 12700h (dell laptop)
ryzen 5600h (mini forums mini pc)
apple m4 (mac mini)
(built) intel i5 13500 (unraid server)
arm snapdragon x elite (surface pro 13" - really wish they did an 11 inch arm surface pro...)
arm snapdragon plus (asus zenbook A14)

Next...
Maybe an apple laptop, I am curious about the rumoured budget laptop with a series cpu being rumoured....
Next gen ryzen/intel, got be at least twice the performance of my 5950x to be worth the cost imo, not quite there with current gen.
