My CPU is 15 years old.
It's an AMD Phenom II X6 1055T.
I have it running at 4GHz.
I think it's going to last forever, same as my old Intel q6600 that is running at 3.5GHz.
Why don't they make CPU's like these anymore?

What's the maximum RAM capacity?

They do, just don't buy Intelaviv and it won't have a melty.

like what?
your cpu is dogshit and slopware are getting slower faster than hardware is getting faster.
you're just not doing anything with your computer otherwise you would realize how dogshit it is.

Incredibly based anon. I was using a 4770 and an X5680 on the side until recently.
Can find used Z690 and Z790 boards used for like $50 though, so cheap you might as well upgrade if it's convenient.

That last forever, even with over 1GHz of overclocking. (slower) These things are faster than you think, you need to re-evaluate yourself.
>>105768120
brown hands typed this.
>>105768153
That 4770 is old too, from 2013, did you keep it? I can buy whatever if I wanted to, but these are going to last forever.

>>105768221
>did you keep it
No I gave the whole computer to a kid on facebook for like $5, I couldn't find a use for it after I got on raptor lake. I'm sure he'll find a way to keep it useful for another near decade.

cpus becaome faster, more efficent and having a better Instructions per cycle, the chip in my handheld pc, the ryzen z1 extreme runs absolute rings around that old phenom while using nearly 1/4 of the power, like sure its interesing you got a pc to last as long as this but the power usage difference alone probably outweighs not upgrading at this point

the cpu development now is even slower than it was 15 years ago
you could've bought a budget i3/ryzen 3 five years ago and it would still hold up perfectly well as long as you have enough ram

Couldn't be a jeet. They'd pick the shittest new-ish CPU/GPU as long as it could run their precious AI. If it came down to OPs CPU or a 600mhz e-waste Intel Atom/Celeron he'd pick the Atom/Celeron CPU every time.

>>105768023 (OP)
Bruh your CPU is slower and less energy efficient than modern Ryzen CPU. I do mean any Ryzen. Just upgrade that PC. For you the crappiest low energy CPU is good enough. Heck build a mini PC.

that CPU was a piece of shit the minute that Sandybridge came out, Thubans pulled around 300W+ of power under load while still being 1/3 the speed of a 2500k that only required around 80W. Pic related, my old 1055T that I had back then which was decently OC'd but even then it was literally a spaceheater and didn't support things like AVX. You can literally find faster CPUs on those HP thin clients that people throw away or donate to GoodWill

>>105768497
Thubans never pulled 300W, don't bullshit dude

>>105768503
plug the fucking thing into a killawatt or something, they pull a ton.

>>105768023 (OP)
All of these "Eternal" CPUs like Sandy Bridge, Phenoms, etc entered oblivion the moment 3rd gen Ryzen came out. The clock began to tick when 1st gen Ryzen came out.

>>105768503
this is from THW on a stock 1090T, not far off from 300W if you OC it a bit. I remember my system pulling around 430W in just gaming workloads and when I swapped it to a 3930k that number went down by quite a bit which I found surprising considering how much performance I gained.

>>105768552
Don't care retard. I only use my computer to post on this shit website, why the fuck would I waste money.

>>105768497
>Dude just spend $1000+ on a new motherboard, CPU, and RAM to replace the thing that still works perfectly fine. Your can save like $50 a year on your power bill!

nanometers. smaller is better (denser) and worse (fatigue).

>As chips become smaller and more densely packed with transistors, the thermal management becomes increasingly challenging. Transient thermal loading, which occurs during active cycling conditions, can lead to fatigue crack formation and propagation within the metallisation layers of power semiconductor devices. This is a critical reliability concern, especially in high-performance applications where chips are subjected to frequent thermal cycles.

However, the 5000 series cpus are in a similar class. They are a peak (perhaps below older silicon, but a relative peak on the way down).

>>105768023 (OP)
Are you me? Still rocking the 1055T. Don't see any reason to upgrade unless I start doing things that a RAM intensive as my motherboard is limited to 16GB.

>>105768562
You can do that on any cheapshit Anjeet phone. You could sell your PC to some retard for money, or do what this motherfucker is doing on eBay and sell your CPU as an "ultra super rare retro CPU".

You're actually wasting money keeping that piece of shit.

It works fine and hasn't "run it's course". You just don't realize that, and how fast these old cpus are. No I don't play vidya or generate AI like a pajeet.

They do. The "problem" is that it simply cannot keep up with the rate at which things are advancing.

incorrect you can boot modern nvidia cards on even older hardware, they even recently dropped tbe popcnt requirement so the drivers can run on some truly ancient hardware. kek

I’ve been using my 1950x since 2017. I know it’s nowhere near as long as you did but I still don’t feel the need to upgrade. Actually apart from my GPU, my whole build is from 2017.

>>105768023 (OP)
>Why don't they make CPU's like these anymore?
Because they use about 10x more energy than a modern CPU in the same budget range?
Enjoy having a heater 24/7 turned on.

>>105771247
>I’ve been using my 1950x since 2017.

My point is that these old cpu's can do over 1GHz of overclocking and still work over a decade later. I think it's neat.

'sup I'm still rocking an X6 1055T, I've posted it several times in the desktop thread, albeit I use it solely as a retro machine. It has WinXP and Win7 installed for those strange cases where I require an old operating system and virtualization is of no help.

I do have a modern desktop computer for daily use though, I certainly need more power than what the X6 can provide (it was already struggling back in the day)

It just won't quit.

If you take anything away from this thread, it should be this.
I'm fine with people holding onto their obsolete shit (hell, I still have an A10-6600 around here that I used regularly until a year or so ago), but stop pretending "you don't need more" or coping that everyone who has better than you is a "coomsoomer". It's purely because you're poor - own it.

While I understand your desire to keep using your old machine daily, please don't. Keep it for the memories or maybe use it as a retro machine but for daily tasks anything relatively modern is MILES better. Hell even my shitty i3 dual core Tiger Lake is equally or better at multithreaded workloads than the X6.

Do yourself a favor and upgrade your box.

They do.
If you bought a CPU made in the past 15 years, for most applications, there's very/no reason to upgrade.
IMO the biggest issue with older desktop CPUs is not the data processing part of the CPU itself but the supported peripherals/busses.

>>105772754
oh you mean the i7, the i7 will oc further, but it also becomes a house fire above 3.6-4ghz, Unless you're willing to go for a full custom water loop, I don't think it matters much because it will still be slower than the phenom under 3.8-3.9ghz

>>105772915

Depends on your workload. I like the fact that these older chips don't have built in spyware.

>>105772915
Yeah, and the Q6600 could run at that speed no problem.

>>105768023 (OP)
The problem with pre-Sandy cpus is that you can only max them out with 8-16GB RAM, maybe there are exceptions that allow for 24GB but you miss out on useful stuff you could do with 32GB or more. For practical minimalism there's no reason why 64-128GB builds would ever need replacing as long as it isn't for external reasons, i.e. the printer you want to use for eternity has cartridges discontinued or some shitty new port replaces HDMI/DP leaving you without a way for video output. There's still a lot to exploit and abuse about modern software in regarding older servers.

>>105768023 (OP)
I got off Phenom in 2017 when Ryzen came out. I got an FX-8350.

>>105773302
your thinking pre nehalem, lga775 is limited to 16gb, but nehalem can do 48gb on x58 triple channel boards, and phenom ii supports 8gb dimms as well on anything with a ddr3, though the memory controller has a rough time of it.

listed specs reflect the time they were written, so long as the memory controller can address more memory larger dimms will work, even if they didnt exist yet.
