With this and the 5800X3D being manufactured again and Raptor Lake being spun up for yet another refresh, I wonder how long it will be before we see something like the Core 2 Quad Q6600 being resurrected along with the P35 chipset and DDR2.
I jest, but with much of a farce the industry has become lately, it does make me wonder how much further backwards we’re going to go.
I ran one of the above for something like 6 years. Absolute power hog, but I’ll be damned if it didn’t keep up. I did have to overclock the hell out of it near the end, but it took to it like a champ.
