Good show old chap! Seeing soldered wires in a CPU design is rather quaint I should say. Those 186s were going for about $10 each on Ebay recently.

Those likely aren't solder points, but rather wirebonds. It looks a lot like the chip carriers we used to use in the lab for wiring up samples to sockets.

I wonder how much faster is a i7 compared to a non-OOO chip like a Pentium MMX...Like 10000x?

I miss Troy Aikmang. :'(

I prefer mine.

I prefer yours too. :awe:

Well, P4 1.8A, XP1700 and E6300 can do over 50% OC easily...

Waidaminute! It was the 1.6A that O/C'd to 2.1! I remember, I was there! And please dont forget about the 2.4 p4 SL6Z3 that went up to 3.2!
I made thousands of dollars buying them here and flipping them on Ebay.

There were also some 1.6 rev. D xeons that would do 3.2 in a pc-DL w/ wire mod. I had a few pair, but at 3.2 mine weren't totally stable under load. I kept it at 2.66 - I think. Back before dual/muticore processors, that was cheap SMP heaven.

I miss the fun I had with all of this in the late 90s...New hardware just doesnt excite me like it did then. The jumps we were making seemed enormous.

IIRC we went from Celeron 300As in early 1999 to P4 3.06 GHz HT in late 2002. Athlon broke 1GHz in just 6 months from debut.

From a pure MHz perspective we are still stuck at the 3GHz range from 2002 till now.
