I played UT, AoE2, HW2, MSFCS 1998 and quite a few others on one...

What the hell does that person work with, or where to be able to do this in the office? :P 

Sperm banks use a lot of liquid nitrogen. There are seasonal jobs at sperm banks for cattle/animals. All the liquid nitrogen you could ever dream of.

I mean, these Celeron Ds were total shit even back in the day as its cache setup really sucked. That combined with the terribleness of the Netburst architecture means that you're struggling to compete against Pentium IIIs from 1999... probably even at 8GHz.

I’d be curious to see how old Netburst CPUs would fare in playing Stardew Valley. In terms of IPC, would a Cortex A53 be a pretty fair comparison?

This is most probably the result of a bored techie forced to use a PC that the company hadn’t upgraded in nearly two decades. I’d like to do that to some of our PCs sometime.

Cortex A53 should be significantly better. These are my results from Northwood, Prescott (both 3.2GHz) and Cedarmill (3GHz) just to show how bad it is compared to CPU of around the same age and newer:

Having gone from a 386 DX-40 with Windows 3.1 to a Celeron D 2.4GHz (yeah she stalled like a bitch thinking back) and Windows XP, they still did have their place. Anything can actually be decent if what you are replacing is extremely outdated.
