Talk about the Intel Core i7-990X now
Thank you very much for sharing!
The Celeron 420's also an amazing overclocker. Ran at 1.6 GHz stock; was able to overclock it to 3.0 GHz stable at which speed it beat the 2.8 GHz Pentium 4 520 HT.
It's the best overclocker I've come across!
It seems so cool to have been able to overclock the i7-920 to 4 GHz without too much push; back in the day it would have been a killer: Crysis would have been a mild thing for it to render out, even on maximum graphics settings. I think Bloomfield CPUs had surpassed GPUs in terms of productivity majorly in those times. Let's not forget that the 4 core / 8 thread trend continued a long, long time.
I still remember what a big deal AMD 7000 Series GPUs were in 2012, alongside the GTX 600 series. There were mighty fists thrown at productivity and though at the time the prices seemed high, they seem farcically low from today's perspective.
Nova Lake ought to bring some salami for immediate consumption to the table. I wonder whether Nvidia RTX 6000 would be a giant leap forward and what new stuff we can expect from AMD.
It seems we have gotten some gains with Alder Lake; maybe it's the next best thing that happened since Sandy Bridge. On the GPU side we are going pretty speedily forward too, despite at quite the price!
So the straightforward version of Moore's Law slipped into the realm of history, left behind.
I find it hard to ask what caused this halt.
