  Last update of the year 2004. Just in time for this update I received a batch of rare MP6 processors, so I didn't even need to make a decision what microprocessor family to present today. From 6 new processors in the MP6 family 5 are engineering samples, and one is marked as "DS" (development sample? design sample?). When I get time I will test all of them. Enjoy the pictures. Happy New Year to all!

  I wanted to mention microprocessor architectures pages that were not mentioned before in the site news. I started putting architecture information pages in November, and slowly but surely we already have 7 pages online. My goal is to cover as many old processors/co-processor as possible, so stay tuned - information for more processors will be coming next year.

  New family of AMD 9511/9512 FPUs was added to the site. Out of four new chips probably the most interesting chip is an Intel version of 9511 - C8231A. It's little weird to see AMD copyright on Intel's chip...

  I moved all desktop and mobile Intel Celeron processors from Intel Pentium II family page. Because the Celeron architecture spans from Pentium II to Pentium 4, it deserves its own page. I also added 18 new Celeron processors in PPGA and FC-PGA/FC-PGA2 packages, including 5 engineering samples.

  Today we had 2-hour downtime which was caused by excessive resource usage, which in turn was partially caused by downloading of the complete site contents by web spider software. Well, from now on I'm going to limit access to the site to all web spider software, spambots, page grabbers, offline readers and other software that download huge number of files in short period of time. I installed a script that detects web spider software and automatically bans it. The ban is temporarily - if you get banned the access to the site will be usually restored in 12 - 24 hours.

  I changed slightly the logic of the processor identification tool. If the part number cannot be identified the tool checks now if the entered part number is a valid S-Spec number, and if it is, it returns information for that S-Spec number.

  I added NEC V50 family with 3 new processors:


NEC

  We have new identification pages: AMD K8, AT&T, Cypress Semiconductor and Microchip. AMD K7 and Intel pages were updated with new families. All this new information was added to processor identification tool.  
 
Oct 25
 
  4 new processor families have been added in the past few weeks, it's about time to fill holes in existing families. This time I added 10 new 80286 processors, including very rare AMD N80L286 engineering sample, rare Intel 80286 4 MHz and Siemens 80286-C processors.

  Very small update - I added Nexgen Nx587 family consisting of only one co-processor. I don't have any information about this co-processor - please, contact me if you have a datasheet for it or a motherboard that can be used with it.

  I installed new processor identification tool. It properly identifies 70% of all processors, co-processors and microcontrollers on the site, it also identifies some parts that are not on the site yet. It doesn't identify modern processors (Athlon MP, Sempron, Athlon 64, Pentium II and higher, etc) - these will be added next week. For chip identification the tool uses information from CPU identification pages, so don't expect the tool recognize something that is not on those pages. The tool is till in beta stage, so if you find any problems with it please post in the forum: http://www.cpu-world.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=889 (registration is not required).
