3 eggs, apperently a space heater... WHY???????? 115 watts???? the 2500k is 95 watts

i thoughts intel was good SadFace...

melikepie :

I probably should point out that you're comparing a processor released in 2011, versus one released in the early 2000's at the latest. It's a single core P4. Back then that's best they could do. AMD would have had the same "space heater". Thus why it's $12.

Chainzsaw · Mar 24, 2012

To add to that, the P4 was horribly inefficient (look up net burst architecture), and at the time AMD was giving them a good stomp down with the Athlon 64.

Really... being a bit over dramatic aren't we... like a drama queen...

The P4 Presscott was made back in 2004 using a 90nm die process. The core i5-2500k was made in 2011 using the 32nm die process.

Somewhere, someone just had an epiphany lol.

Some people will just post anything without doing any research.

Any my old 130nm Athlon 64 consumed more power than my 45nm Athlon II X4 640, whats your point? Technology clearly advances over time. lol

I am just suprised you can still actually buy them. Weird.

This post made me laugh.

Hopefully OP was trolling. If not then he needs to spend a few months educating himself before trying to help anyone on the forums!

jimmysmitty :

yep

melikepie · Mar 25, 2012

inzone :

well i don't see why intel made a chip so bad.

AndrewK1 · Mar 25, 2012

melikepie :

The chip is only bad on today's standards. If you're trolling, please stop.

amuffin · Mar 25, 2012

It was good back then...?

How well do these oc?

melikepie · Mar 25, 2012

AndrewK1 :

well that chip does not seem usfull, to many watts so little time!

melikepie · Mar 25, 2012

amuffin :

i used one when around athlon time... it's alright but the athlon seemed better at bigger loads but i never overclocked it.

amuffin · Mar 25, 2012

melikepie :

Though why are you complaining? This is a very old processor.

melikepie · Mar 25, 2012

amuffin :

the specs were suprising

amuffin · Mar 25, 2012

melikepie :

How so?

melikepie · Mar 25, 2012

amuffin :

by high wattage i though around 65 watts which is like twice the sb per-core wattage, not more then the i5

cbrunnem · Mar 25, 2012

melikepie :

actually the one you linked has 115 watts per core and the sb 2500k has about 24 watts per core.

Is it April 1st already? On a serious note, you can't compare a CPU made back in 2004 to one made in 2011. It's like comparing the graphics of a Nintendo N64 to the Xbox360.

runswindows95 :

It's like comparing the graphics of a Nintendo wii to the the Xbox360 (fixed)

lemlo · Mar 25, 2012

I too find that seeing this in stock and for sale fascinating.. I almost want to buy one just to keep as a collectable. Such an infamous chip.

Though would still be a halfway decent and super cheap upgrade for someone with an old system.

DelroyMonjo · Mar 25, 2012

Just what is a 'REFURBISHED' CPU?
