Look at this badboy!

[viliuks]

So I was just going through a pile of junk and I found this! Its a AMD Sempron CPU dated back to 1999. That's going to be framed and put on my wall.
@DEcobra11 posted the link to the cpu http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K7/AMD-Sempron%202200+%20-%20SDA2200DUT3D%20%28SDA2200BOX%29.html

 

Front and back.

 

Close up on the writing on black.

 

Close up on the chip. Oh noes its broken :c

 

Close up on the pins

 

Every photo was taken by my phone and I know the first two pics are blurry because I got shaky hands. The macro is made from this video: 

 

P.S it can run crysis 3

I guess you could say that chip...

...Is chipped.

Of course it can crysis 3 is a console port ^^

Dammnnn right.

oh my god. I heard of this, and i saw your pictures and i wonder how you got it that close. I Took pictures though binaculars, but I never thought this would work. BRB everyone!

 

and yay crysis at .0005 FPS 

[viliuks]

@Slick and @LinusTech should see this

Try it it really works

Still better than my pc

Just as my XP 2600+ it says 1999, but it isn't from 1999, this is that CPU you're showing : http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K7/AMD-Sempron%202200+%20-%20SDA2200DUT3D%20%28SDA2200BOX%29.html

Oh thanks dude!

[viliuks]

Does it work?

My XP 2600+ still working (also I'm modding for it ^.^), even it felt into the ground, a hammer felt accidentally on it, the mb felt from 1 m of height when it was installed and survived a travel with furniture in a van when I was moving ._.

hmm I dont really know I have everything that it needs it should work replace the thermal paste and stuff and I will see. And I will need to re-install windows on that pc. Because the cpu was taken out really long time but everything in the case is still there. So maybe tomorrow I will try to fire the pc up and re-install windows, and Pm you if it works. 

[Kyuubixchidori]

another question could be can it even run Windows 7? I'm pretty sure earlier version would be not supported expect Vista maybe with sp2

 

PS - Your Camera is pretty bad.

its a mobile camera using a lazer pointer glass. 

 

I doubt it could run windows 7. Maybe run, but not be usable? I dont know if the mobo it goes with can handle enough ram

[flibberdipper]

heh I have a Sempron 3000+ (in an old Compaq of some kind, still works!).

[flibberdipper]

Yes it can, I can confirm that, I installed W7 on my XP 2600+, EVEN IN MY PENTIUM III

But you won't be able to enable aero, well that's GPU dependent but I don't think he's going to buy a GPU compatible with directx 9 an PS 3.0 for AGP just for this

I ran it on my K6. Not -2, just K6. SO SLOWWWWWWW.

[flibberdipper]

The fun fact is that isn't bc of the CPU... it's BC of the RAM

I could confirm that in a experiment with a Northwood pentium IV

*EDITING*

I had 768MB, but the video card was a Vanta 16 or something along those lines. It had like 4MB of VRAM.

I was over with @jacobs4525 and we found a Pentium 2 in a Windows 95 system. You should see the socket on that thing.

Stricktly speaking that'd be a slot, not a socket. Also, I have one of those as well.

[flibberdipper]

I'm not referring to RAM amount, I'm referring to RAM bandwidth

Whatever PC133's bandwidth was...

[flibberdipper]

1066 MB/s

And I spoilt my experiment: pentium IV in a MB that had a problem that RAM could only offer ~350 MB/s of bandwidth

That's it? Wow... Poor Pentium 4.

[Builder]

I realize...they started doing socketed chips when they ran out of space on the slot

 

The Pentium Anniversary Edition should have come like that, with its own custom motherboard. Like a pin to pin adapter for LGA 1150. Now THAT would have been awesome. They would probably run into issues with latency though...there's a reason they use FCLGA these days.

[Builder]

There are slot-socket adaptors

Also the pentium MMX was PGA, and it's older than a pentium II...

Well they did eventually did switch to PGA and LGA, and it was probably when their die shrinks made it infeasible to have such a low density of pins.

 

Still, I'd like to see an LGA 1150-some new slot adapter for the Anniversary Edition. Instead we get the special -58 SKU and a copper core cooling unit in a product line where aluminum is the default.

 

We can still hope...right?

[Builder]

Stock cooler has copper inside.

Slot would be a bit of trouble for new heatsinks (sagging, compatibility...), also it requires a PCB = more materials = price...

They put copper inside the one that comes with the Anniversary Edition, (so you can overclock it with the stock cooler) but ordinarily the Pentiums have aluminum core coolers and only the higher end Core-i series have copper core coolers. See Linus's interview with the Intel guy.

 

I know it costs more, I know...but it's the 20th anniversary. C'mon Intel, loosen your belt for once. The people who buy boxed processors are such a small part of your market anyways! Why not give us something really cool to commemorate it? Maybe for the 25th?

[Builder]

Yeah, but not in slot form factor , needs more space and isn't latency friendly

What I meant by latency is not that slots are inherently more latent but the whole reason Intel die shrinks is to reduce the distance between the transistors in the CPU thus allowing them to increase their density and as a result the electrons have to travel shorter distances to activate the transistors.

 

If you were to split all of the LGA pins out and put them on a socket, you may run into issues with that. If for example you were to solder several billion transistors to a PCB using a Core-series die shot as a guide, the result would be almost unusably slow because the transistors are so far apart. Near light speed is still not fast enough for Intel.

[Builder]

Slots require longer buses, this isn't good when managing precise voltages

I would trade the unlocking for the slot.
