Happy New Year to all visitors! I'm back from vacation.
Unfortunately, I've got a flu right after the vacation, and couldn't
do planned updates before the New Year. Speaking about planned site
updates... Next year I'll continue to add more microprocessor and
microcontroller families, add more benchmarks and more information
about different aspects of microprocessing. There will be a few new
site sections added next year - CPU packages, additional types of
charts (power consumption, price, etc). It will be possible to upload
your own CPU info, CPU benchmarks and overclocking results. Next year
the site updates will be less often because part of my time will be
spent on my side project - CPU
support database (www.CPU-Upgrade.com), as well as on another
project (not CPU-related). |

I'm leaving for vacation for one week. I won't have
access to internet, so while I'm gone there won't be any site updates,
I won't be able to approve comments and S-Spec number submissions,
and respond to e-mails. I didn't have time to respond to upgrade questions
in comments posted in the last two days - I would recommend to those
posters to repost the questions in the forum. |

On the front page in the "Quick Links" section
we have pull-down menu that can be used to quickly find family pages
by selecting a manufacturer and then a family. Today this menu was
impoved. You can now use "Family" choice to reverse the
order of page selection. When the "Family" radio button
is checked, you can now select the family first and then the manufacturer.
Another minor enhancement to the menu was inclusion of extra pages.
You can now select Athlon, Duron, different versions of Pentium III
and Celerons - before these pages were missing from the menu. |

I created two new pages: timetable
of AMD K7 stepping codes and timetable
of K8 stepping codes. I doubt these pages will be useful to many
people, but it was fun working on them. |

Beside my large collection of microprocessors, I also
have a small collection of microprocessor and co-processor related
key chains. Today I put a page with Intel
80386/80387 key chains that I have in my collection. |

I added pictures of 5 new Pentium_4
CPUs. I didn't spend much time updating Intel families in the past
few months. I hope that starting from this update I'll be able to
work more time on modern and vintage Intel processor families. |

Two new CPU charts were added today: Athlon
chart and Mobile Duron
microprocessors. |

Two pages were updated: Athlon

The S-Spec database was updated with all recently submitted
S-Spec numbers. Thanks to Karsten Reichert, viili, g0b and other people
who submitted S-Spec numbers. |

As you may already know AMD yesterday released three
new Athlon 64 FX microprocessors. Information on these processors
was added to Athlon
64 FX family. I also updated Athlon
64 FX CPU chart and identification of Athlon 64 FX and Sempron
processors. |

After receiving many CPU upgrade questions and answering
half of them, I decided that much better use of my spare time would
be to build a database with cpu upgrade information and let people
search it, rather than searching myself for this data. After two months
of work I can finally present CPU
support database (the first draft). Because the upgrade database
is not about processors I put it under separate domain - CPU-Upgrade.com.
CPU-Upgade.com is more of a side project for me, so it'll be updated
less often than CPU-World.com. |

I added three new CPU charts: Mobile
Athlon 4 CPUs, Athlon MP
CPUs and Athlon XP-M
microprocessors. |

AMD K8 Sempron
page now has information on socket 939 and socket AM2 Semprons. These
Sempron processors were also added to K8
Sempron CPU chart. |

I wanted to ask visitors who's looking for CPU upgrade
or troubleshooting advice not to post their questions in comments.
These questions are usually specific to motherboards, other hardware
or software, and are not related to microprocessors. It'd be nice
if CPU pages had only relevant information. For this reason all questions
and unrelated comments will be rejected. If you have questions please
post them in the forum. Speaking about rejecting... I've made a change
so that CPU pages will now show if any comments were rejected, and
provide a link to a page with rejection reason. |

I updated design of all "News" and "Links" pages. Now
they look similar to many other pages on the site, and their size
is at least 25% smaller than before. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
Two CPU comparison charts are online: Intel
Core 2 Duo microprocessors and Mobile
Semprons. |
|

Navigation menu was replaced all S-spec pages. I used
this opportunity to add some missing S-Spec numbers. I also compared
CPU-World's S-Spec database with Intel's
processorfinder database, and found that starting from this update
our database includes all S-Spec numbers from processorfinder. Still,
I highly recommend processorfinder to everybody, and, even if you
found an s-spec number on our site, it's worth to check processorfinder
too because it may have additional information. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
As you can see, navigation menu at the top of the page
was changed. All images in the menu were replaced with text, which
should make pages load a bit faster, and in my opinion looks better.
Right now about 20% - 25% site's pages have new menu. Eventually all
pages will be updated. |
|

More CPU comparison charts are online: Athlon
64 processors and Athlon
FX microprocessors. |
|
| |
|
|

Two more CPU comparison charts are online: AMD
Duron processors and AMD
Sempron microprocessors. |

Intel
80960 comparison table is online. |
|
| |
|
|
|

10 new microprocessors were added to Intel
80960 CPU family. I updated information on some CPUs from that
family, and will probably do other minor updates to i960 pages in
the next few days. |

All submitted S-Spec numbers, plus more than 70 other
pre-production s-spec numbers were added to S-Spec database. Thanks
to everybody who submitted the specification numbers! |

| |
New page added: comparison
chart of Athlon XP microprocessors. |
|
| |
|
|
|

You can now use this
page to submit new AMD stepping codes. All submissions are moderated.
All recently submitted codes can be found on the AMD
stepping codes submissions page. |
|
| |
|
|
|

I created new page: AMD
K8 Sempron processor chart. I'm planning to create similar lists
for all other modern microprocessors. Because data on different processors
on the site is broken into individual pages, it's not easy to compare
different CPUs, even if they belong to the same family. I hope that
lists similar to the one I just created will help with that. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
I updated pages with AMD K7
and K8 stepping codes.
AMD package types
page and identification of AMD stepping codes was updated too. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
AMD K8 CPU page was
updated with information on Athlon
FX microprocessors. You won't see any pictures there because I
don't have any Athlon 64 FX processors in my possession. You're welcome
to upload pictures of your own Athlon 64 FX processors though :) |

I added two new microprocessors to Intel
4040 microprocessor family. There are twice as many chip pictures
in that family now :) |

Dual-core Xeons were added to Intel
Xeon s-spec pages. I also added all previously submitted s-spec
numbers to the s-spec database. I almost catched up with the latest
Intel updates of s-spec numbers, which is good because I can concentrate
now on putting more data on existing s-spec pages. Next s-spec update
will be in about two weeks. |

William Blair, who already provided many CPU/FPU/chip
die pictures to CPU-World, sent me new batch of die pictures. You
will find new pictures on the following pages: RCA
1802, Intel 80286, Intel
80387, Intel 80486, Motorola
680x and Motorola 6809. There
are also 5 new pictires on the bottom of William's
page. William is looking for more chips for die photography. If
you have any chips you'd like to donate to him please contact
him. |
