24 years ago today in 1999, AMD shook up the market with the introduction of the Athlon processor!

The Athlon was AMD's first x86 processor to compete with Intel's Pentium III, and it was a huge success. It was significantly faster than Intel’s flagship Pentium III, which ran at a top speed of 600MHz.

These power-packed marvels weren't just chips – they were engines for your computer dreams, propelling us into a new era of computing greatness!

還記得之前聊過的雙 系統嗎?

今天再介紹一套雙 系統
不過這套則是以旗艦的方式面世

2006 年當 還在嘲笑 膠水黏起來的 D 時
殊不知 Intel 端出了同樣也是原生雙核心的 2 Duo 系列
效能全面輾壓 AMD 競品 X2

同時更端出也是"黏出來"的 Core 2 Quad
更是打的 AMD 一個措手不及
為了跟 Intel 在「 」這個未知戰場一決高下
在 AMD 的產品空窗期之時
只好先借用了伺服器產品 的設計
推出基於 F ( LGA1207 但在最終產品稱為 Socket L1)
系列
在單一主機板上面
裝上了兩顆 CPU
並允諾未來可以直接升級四核心
成為八核心平台

然而高功耗與高價並未帶來相對應的效能與 Core 2 Quad 匹敵
而這個八核心的承諾
也成了夢幻泡影

Athlon update: I found my Radeon 9200 SE and swapped it for the e-"""GeForce FX 5200.""" The """5200""" will be put in my Pentium II 350 desktop as originally planned. I also do have a CPU bracket now, but it's broken, so I need some superglue.
The 9200 didn't arrive in great shape so I'm not expecting it to work, it was packaged in bubble wrap and no antistatic bag, but might as well give it a shot. If not, maybe someone can use it to see what chips they can harves.

It seems the old desktop I was using as a storage server has finally reached the end of the road. Several capacitors on the motherboard have definitely lost their magic smoke.

Though it served me well, I'm probably not going to bother re-capping it: running an -based desktop 24/7 in 2023 just to serve files isn't exactly a great use of electricity, when an ARM or Intel SoC based system could outperform it at a fraction of the wattage.

Can't say it didn't last, though.

Some , and CPUs have bunch of vulnerabilities. The issues can be mitigated by installing firmware update from the OEM with new AGESA PI. amd.com/en/corporate/product-s

The sure are old. BUT they work ok-ish for the kids games. Just a little laggy.
