The Best Processor Ever Made (until Now)

[phex]

Enjoy this little poll (I think that the best processor ever made is the G5).

[andrewpayne]

can't beat the Xeon with 2MB Level 2 cache!

[phex]

But the Xeon is slower than the G5 (32 bits Vs. 64 bits)

All of these processors are limited to desktops.

I personally think that the Pentium-M processors are the best ever made, considering that the lastest versions use about one-third the power of a 3.2GHz P4-HT and are able to keep up, toe-to-toe with any of the standard processors out there.

Not to mention the obvious advantage of Intel's SpeedStep technology to give laptop users 5 hours of battery life with average usage (vs 2 hours with P4 and 1.5hours with AMD).

Good point.

I voted for P4.

[indianarchie]

p4 for me

[Nerwin]

p4 for me too!

duron 800, you could chip off most of the core (accidentally using badly designed coolers and a heavy hand) and they'd still work no problem

I have used both intel and athlon and intel. Athlon uses more power but can be tweaked more but at the cost of generating more heat. Athlon is more rugged and more foregiving.

So my vote is something in the athlon line

[Kenny McCormick]

Dual Core AMD Opteron

[Ivanov]

Pentium 4!

[djbe]

Pentium produce waaaaaaaaaaay more heat, so athlon! (64)

[Lost Soul]

im a fan of amd

[gamehead200]

[At0mic]

Motorola 68k!!

Yeah my 68030 25MHz rocked!
