Are you still running a CPU designed before 2008?

Geofrancis · Apr 2, 2013

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 · Apr 2, 2013

Well, I see lot of Q6600 in this thread

zenlaserman · Apr 2, 2013

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.

Jstn7477 · Apr 2, 2013

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 · Apr 2, 2013

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

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 · Apr 2, 2013

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 · Apr 2, 2013

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 · Apr 2, 2013

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

Widjaja · Apr 2, 2013

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 · Apr 2, 2013

Phenom II X4 920

Kantastic · Apr 2, 2013

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.

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

DRDNA · Apr 5, 2013

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

eidairaman1 · Apr 5, 2013

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

bmaverick · Apr 5, 2013

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 · Apr 5, 2013

Yes I do look under my specs for main rig

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

xkm1948 · Apr 5, 2013

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 · Apr 5, 2013

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 · Apr 5, 2013

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

KainXS · Apr 5, 2013

cdawall · Apr 5, 2013

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 · Apr 5, 2013

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.
