Title

CPU-World: From Intel 4004 CPU to AMD Athlon 64 CPUs and Intel Pentium 4 microprocessors

Description

About the site

I started collecting microprocessors in February 2002. At the time I wanted to get a few Intel x86 processors just to hang them on the wall, and I bought a few processors from eBay. Then I bought more... And then some... When the collection got relatively big I decided to create a website with pictures of all of the chips I have. Looking just at the pictures is not a lot of fun, so I started adding descriptions to the chips. Now my collection is pretty big, and in my opinion the website has some useful information not only for chip collectors. I will be adding more information to the website in the near future - new microprocessor/microcontroller families, processor pinouts, support chip listings and pictures, "odd looking chips" page, and more.

Update (Sep 2004): Lot of time passed since I wrote the previous paragraph. The site now has more CPU/MCU families, pinouts pages, support chips, benchmarks, odd looking chips page, and even a small database of Intel processors specification numbers. I will continue to expand all these areas of the site, and I'm planning to add even more - instruction set information for many popular families, CPU architecture pages, package information, and information pages about specific features of the processors like MMX, power management features, etc.

Update (Feb 2006): The site added much more information in the past 1.5 years: it is now possible to add comments or upload images to web pages, the site has memorabilia section, it has microprocessor architectures, socket and core names pages, identification tool was enhanced to interpret AMD stepping codes, and so on. I'm planning to spend more time on the site and less time on the collection, and I hope that I will implement things I planned in the past - like feature pages, or package information. I'm also going to work on things that I started long time ago but never finished, like benchmarking or information on support chips.
