Most useless CPU?

[Recon-UK]

What would you consider in your opinion, the worst CPU?

 

I vote the Pentium IV, slower IPC than the Pentium III and laughable VS AMD's almighty Athlon.

bulldozor

That's an entire architecture x3

 

Personally I don't understand the really low end laptop processors. They do nothing

This thing.

 

You could get cheaper CPUs that dumped on it while using far less power.

920, then later release, the 930

Bulldozer wasn't useless for overclockers

 

Agreed also, my friend has a Laptop that ran him £289 and it has 1GB of RAM and a AMD C60 (1GHz Dual).

 

This was bought in 2011.

Aren't they micro-controllers for other things rather than what you'd expect as a traditional socket based CPU (e.g. i5)?

Pentium E dual core

Pentium E dual core

I had an E2200 and it was boss

 

Super cheap, ran cool and performed within margin of a Core2Duo (I got 1.1 in Cinebench 11.5 compared to the 1.25 from a C2D E6550).

 

It also overclocked to 3.4GHz but I think that was luck more than anything

the one in my laptop, it can barely run anything

behh, when i used my Father's PC 2years ago before i got my own PC, He has an E5300, now, it was cool when didn't know shit about CPUs, but now i despise it, but surprisingly handled CRYSIS-2 With the integrated Graphics at Low settings, at 1024x768 with around 20FPS, believe that, but as i said, now that i Game with the big guns, i can see how much of a peace a rap it was, and not just the CPU, but the PC as a hole

http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Celeron-D-310-vs-AMD-Sempron-145

its a 2ghz pentium 4 but with less performance. slower than an atom and i still see machines that are running this with furious owners, i usually swap it with the fastest version i have that i previously took out of someone elses pc as a free upgrade just to lessen the pain.

Well it was a cheap CPU from 2007 and the i5 is an expensive CPU from 2012

 

Not to mention that integrated graphics.

 

 

@ubuntusuperuser an amd e1-2100 apu

Ah I feel for you, my friend has a C-60 and it's useless too!

Takin shit on C2Q? My q8200 is running at 3.5GhZ and out does I5 2500K's when they're at stock! >

and since it is an apu it use like half of the ram (only 1GB is usable)

[steffen_anywhere]

The Tegras up until Tegra 4 (i know they are SoC's, but still).

yaah, you're right, seems like a stupid match, but still....my father wouldn't let me do a single upgrade on the hole god damn thing, i added a Radeon 6450 to it a year ago and he damaged it some how, and he said to me "what are talking about, i see no performance improvement with your "better Graphics card" "but i guess thous configs are fine for someone who surfs for like 10Mins and plays Solitaire with his friends

[harrynowl]

Aye, the C-60 is also an APU. It has a Radeon 6290 256mb, that uses 256(funny that) of the 1GB ram.
