Are you still running a CPU designed before 2008?

[Geofrancis]

I think the oldest CPU I run is the via 1ghz chip in my router everything else is all 45nm (phenom II x4, x6 and Core 2 SL9400)

 

[T3RM1N4L D0GM4]

Well, I see lot of Q6600 in this thread

 

[zenlaserman]

All my home PCs are old and I've had them since when new.

Main home PC is a Q6700 @ 3.3GHz on stock volts. The chipset is an i975X (!) lol

My "MagicJack rig" has a Pentium III 1GHz that I built back when Intel had just hit the GHz mark.
That was the first and last time I ever dropped a G-note on a CPU lol

My laptop has a Pentium III-E @ 266-900MHz, all I use it for is e-books and playing really old games.

All my old stuff does exactly what I need them to, with distinction. I can definitely afford new stuff, but I'm not greedy.

I am currently running an X6800, X3210, P4 HT 3GHz 478, A64 3400+ and 4400+ 939, PentM 735 and Turion64 ML-37 for various things. My newer systems include 2x 3770Ks, 2600K, PII Mobile X920 and a Phenom 8550 Tri-core.

My parents have an FX-8150, X6 1100T and 1045T as well as a mobile i7-720QM.

 

[syeef]

I am running:
i7 3770k
C2D E8400
Pentium 4 2.40A

 

[r9]

Only Media center PC is still using AM2 Athlon X2 4800 (pre 2009) , others are post 2009 CPUs.

Phenom II X6 1045T
Phenom II X4 810
Phenom II X3 720 BE
Athlon II X3 440
Athlon II X2 240
Athlon II X2 210e
Athlon X2 4800
APU E350

Laptops - One Dumb Atom (not sure which era)
APU E300

have few spare Semprons.

I would not argue with you against AMD

And I think that the topic was going to be more interesting if people are still using older CPU for their main rigs. People use much much older computers as routers, servers (web mail file etc.) 2008 is not that far.

 

[Mathragh]

Currently running:
AMD FX-8150
i5 460m
Core 2 duo E6750
AMD FX-6100
AMD A6-3410MX
Tegra 3

Only the Core 2 Duo is from the era before 2008 i guess

 

[KainXS]

on my budget pc I have a Q8400 @ 4Ghz, and it still runs most titles very good, I also have 2 penitum dual cores, one as a server and the other in my htpc, up till last week I had a old P4(a bastardly willamette core) running as a router but it used too much power so I just replaced it with something newer.

 

[manofthem]

Last night I just retired my old Athlon x2 and replaced it with a 3770k setup

 

[Widjaja]

I guess I would have to vote 09' or later.
I currently use my rig in my sig and my HP mini which has an Intel atom N280.

Reason being is the other CPUs/Desktop PCs I have are not in use but they are pre 08'.

 

[Easo]

Phenom II X4 920

 

[Kantastic]

Intel Core i3-3125
Intel Core i5-3117U
Intel Pentium B980
AMD Athlon II X2 250
AMD Athlon II X2 245

Phones, tablets, and routers I'm not listing, but they're all post-2009.

 

[Mydog]

Intel Core2duo E8400 Media center PC
Intel Core i7 3770K My youngest sons Gaming PC
Intel Core i7 970 Media-server
Intel Core i7 3960X My main PC
Intel Core i5 M520 My lapptopp
Intel Core i7 3930K WCG PC

One pre 2008 CPU and the rest is post.

 

[Spider-Vice]

Really? What's the motherboard with the P4? My last P4 was a 630 on an ASUS AG8, it was a solid overclocker.

The mobo is an MSI MS-7104. Cheapo and old

 

[DRDNA]

Desktop's all the newer stuff...Laptop's all C2D

 

[eidairaman1]

i still have P4s and Athlon XPs here, the newest would be this c2 based Celeron laptop (Still has lag issues)

 

[bmaverick]

My folks still have a 386DX Packard Bell still running with Win-XP loaded. It's vintage, but is used for storage of photos and music.

 

[Krazy Owl]

Yes I do look under my specs for main rig

Backup rig is P4 2.8 skt478
Laptop Compaq Evo N610c P4 2 gigs

 

[Deleted member 50521]

Main rig use a qx9650 at 4ghz air cooled, chews up everything I throw at it.

Another rig mainly for playing old games use a Athlon XP 3200+ with an old radeon 9700.

 

[GamerGuy]

Desktops I have presently in order of age, earliest to latest:
Athlon XP 2800+ Barton
AMD AM2 X2 5200+
Intel C2Q X9650
Intel Core i7 LGA2011 3960X
AMD FX8350

An old laptop with a C2D @2.4ghz......that's about it.

 

[PatoRodrigues]

Just read my system specs and laugh. I still run a C2D.

 

[KainXS]

 

[cdawall]

Depends how you read the specs with mine.

Netbook has an Athlon X2 L310 which was technically released in Jan '09
Desktop has a Phenom II B97 which was technically released in May '10

Neither is really that new as far as tech goes.

 

[Jeffredo]

I have two "relics":

Athlon XP 2500+ (oc'd to 3200+) with an X850 XT AGP
Athlon64 3700+ with a 7600 GS AGP

Both are used pretty regularly.

 

[de.das.dude]

no idea
