Hello all..

One of these for today:

Looking back in the stats... what do you think is the best selling CPU we ever had? we have stats going back many years :D

Answers in by 2pm!

[NickCPC]

I'm guessing the Q6600 :)

[Jackster]

Intel Duel core

[ZodiarK]

it's wrong but the chip was awesome

Q6600.

[BreadMurderer]

Pentium 4! (Can I be that vague?)

[f12f12]

q6600.

[Koolpc]

Q6600 would be my guess

[EzyRyder]

Its a vague question. Is it as a brand? The Pentium CPUs are the best ever sold.

But if you are about a specific CPU I will go for the Q6600.

[Rozen]

Am gonna go with the Q6600

[power fuse0]

intel q6600

[sb89]

Q6600.

[Lynx]

Q6600 got to be a certain!

[BurningFeetMan]

I'm sure its gotta be the old Athlons maybe the xp2700

Could really do with this as well!
Good luck all :)

[brsjake]

Has to the Intel Q6600!

[aspdend]

I'm with everyone else Q6600

[Aaron]

Pretty sure you need to be a bit more specific than "Intel Dual Core" or "Pentium 4"..

I'm going for the AthlonXP 1700+

If I can be more vague, then the AthlonXP.

If I can be more vague than that and just pick a brand, then I pick Intel. :lol:

[StuartyB33]

Can i go with Pentium?

[gray.woodford]

intel q6600

[redrooster303]

the q6600:)

[k3vst3r]

Well he says best selling cpu, doesn't say best selling cpu brand or model.

I would guess Q6600 legendary cpu

[Delta Whiskey]

P4 3.0 GHz

[Simon.]

Pentium 4 of some sort? 2.8-3.2ghz?!

Don't know how specific you want us to be?! :popcorn:

[Zaim]

i'll go with Q6600

[Melancholic]

Q6600 if it has to be precise. If model I go for pentium 4.

Damn I need this gpu, X600s are pretty old now

[scrivz69]

I would say one of the E series, maybe the E5200.

[Oxigin]

Q6600 I guess but really have no idea I much prefer the true or false questions :)

[KarlHungus]

E6300?

[ThunderFlash]

i7 980x I reckon..............

































q6600 really is my guess.

[Simon.]

i7 980x I reckon..............



Only First Answer Counts... :ninja:

[Will]

Pentium 4

[sibeer]

My answer is the 2500XP Barton core as no one else has guessed that yet

But it is probably the Q6600, with an outside chance of the E6300 or P4 3.0Ghz HT

[Aaron]

Pentium 4
Which CPU in the P4 range though?

[Linbrikat]

AMD Athlon II

[IanS]

AthlonXP 1600+ They used to be fantastic overclockers. Had one running at 2.5GHz on air.

[Faisal]

I think it might be one of those E series dual cores from intel, but I think the Q6600 would have been more attractive.

So I would say the Q6600.

[wonderlust]

Going with the Q6600 but I have a niggling feeling about the 805D

[wuyanxu]

Q6600 legendary CPU

[DoubleTop]

Barton 2500, or at least something in the Barton range.

DT.

[Clunk]

I'll try the E5200 - affordable, overclockable and around for quite a while.

[{SAS}TB]

E6600 ? cracking chip - loved to be punished :D

[watercooled]

q6600. .

[cinek]

Q6600

[marsey99]

amd sempron 3400

this cpu has been sold across 3 sockets for many years, it has to be up there in the top sales chart.

[Spaceboy]

Intel Pentium E5000

[doctorfonz]

Yup, I'm gonna go with the Q6600 as well.

[ChrisJB]

Q6600...............

[therealmrhead]

Pentium 2 if i may be so bold.

[joegalliano]

Hopefully Pentium 3 1 Ghz

[R1gg4]

AMD Athlon X64

[Col]

Intel Core 2 Duo.

[Pullen]

Q6600

[Pepp77]

If its not the Q6600 I will be mightily surprised.

[Tainted]

Definitely the Q6600

[Marv]

I'd say the core 2 duo range as a whole but a single chip? :S

E6600

[Diaby Does Gallas]

Q6600

[mark22]

P4? or is that to vague

[zeameth]

e6600

[Ninjacat]

intel

[Ninjacat]

intel

Intel Q6600 i mean :redface:

[zshanks]

Yeah im going with the Q6600

[HecklerUK]

I can't remember when aria was started... so I'll go with one of the most popular CPU's every one wanted.

Athlon Thunderbird (probably the 1.2ghz as it was a beast for overclocking).

[mikebs]

Pentium E5000 series

[PedRoUk]

e6600

[niceguyrichy]

Just for a larf I'll say P4 2.8Ghz :)

[MARKYMARK180]

gotta be q6600

[Hydey]

Q6600 :)

[Gunslinger]

Athlon64 2500+

[ratties]

AMD Athlon 64X

[jason]

Intel core duo 8400

[alex24]

Has to be the Q6600 G0.

[Speed]

Err depends how far back I guess.

Athlon 64 3000+ Socket 939 CPU maybe?

[zaz]

Athlon FX 64

[Skeese]

Q6600

[myball123]

Q6600

[mac124]

Going to go with Q6600, will go down in history imho.

[Onyourcase]

Intel Dual core

[Tolmandary]

I'm going for a Socket 939 AMD Athlon 64 2GHz Newcastle core

[Daphne01]

Q6600, shameful copy because I have no idea :o:D

[Biodoid]

q6600

[dexta211]

As soon as i saw this i thought Q6600

[Smiggy]

No idea too much choice, so for a laugh I will go with the first chip I used in the 1st PC I built......

Intel 486 DX4 (if memory serves me right....lol)

[zakdel]

gotta be the q6600 that thing is a beast

[Chris145]

Q6600 :)

[pobbrett]

Q6600 for sure

[Spudeh]

Q6600 seems the best bet.

[poorboys]

intel q6600

[clemos]

Intel Q6600.

[InvaderGIR]

I'm going to go with one of the good old...

AMD Athlon 3200+ chips

[timmmers]

intel q6600

[fullfatmilk]

Intel pentium 4 2.4Ghz C 800Mhz fsb

[callumburns]

Q6600 i suppose?

[Broadsword1976]

I'm going with the Q6600 too - tho' I wish it was a 3200+ Barton Athlon XP - just think this chip broke boundaries in popularity and performance.

[Magatame]

Q6600 ? xD

[Ice Tea]

E8400

Just to be different. :)

[I3R0K3N7FEET]

intel Q9550

[HecklerUK]

2pm... what's the answer? :)

[niceguyrichy]

2pm... what's the answer? :)

bet it's not Q6600 :D

[Robin]

hang on.. hilarious question so i have to search.

[I3R0K3N7FEET]

turns out its i7 930 xD that would be annoying..... :P

[sneeker]

Celeron 300a?

[I3R0K3N7FEET]

too late :P waiting for an answer now.. im quite interested to see what it would be :D

[Aaron]

I'm actually quite interested to know this one...!

[ThunderFlash]

I'm calling shenanigans if it's a Sempron....

[I3R0K3N7FEET]

turns out noone got it right as theyre gonna name like a 20 year old cpu xD

[InvaderGIR]

Would find it amusing it if it's a RISK or something like that chip. :D

[Robin]

Heh... Interestring stuff

Q6600 came out top.. and some old Athlons made an appearance even the AXIA :D

[ThunderFlash]

Wow, so once again you're gonna have alot of names in Excel.....

[Broadsword1976]

Heh... Interestring stuff

Q6600 came out top.. and some old Athlons made an appearance even the AXIA :D


Just for interest, can we have the number of Q6600s sold? or perhaps that's a question for another day.....

[I3R0K3N7FEET]

i guessed it would be q6600 but i wanted to be different :P

[ThunderFlash]

Just for interest, can we have the number of Q6600s sold? or perhaps that's a question for another day.....


6600 were sold

[Broadsword1976]

6600 were sold

That would be tooo spooky...And I think more...

[sibeer]

Heh... Interestring stuff

Q6600 came out top.. and some old Athlons made an appearance even the AXIA :D

It was the obvious answer. I can't think of any other processor that has stuck around as the sensible choice of the enthusiast for almost two years ;)

Out of interest did my 2500XP (Barton) make an appearance, that probably managed a year as the chip to have with easy OC to 3200XP before the Northwoods took over.

[Robin]

Excel has chosen...


Has to be the Q6600 G0.

:D

[Broadsword1976]

Well Done Alex :thumb:

[Ninjacat]

well done :)

[clemos]

Well done. :D Good ol' Q6600 is still going strong these days.

[Aaron]

Yeah, thats also why I went for the XP1700+.. Massively overclockable, and good price too. And it lasted for ever! :lol:

[Delta Whiskey]

Congratulations Alex. :D

[ZodiarK]

who has actually owned a q6600 here?

me for one

[sibeer]

Yeah, thats also why I went for the XP1700+.. Massively overclockable, and good price too. And it lasted for ever! :lol:

Basically the bottom chip in the range of most exciting new architectures have been the memorable ones. Well apart from obvious stinkers like the original and Prescott P4's and most of the AM2 range from AMD ;)

[alex24]

Thanks again guys! That was an easy question, a lot of correct answers.

I had a Q6600 G0. I only got rid of it because I fancied a move to AMD. It was, and still is, very capable when clocked to 3.2GHz or higher. Mine sat at 3.6GHz :)

That prize is perfect too btw, I've been looking for a new card for my HTPC and that fits the bill brilliantly. Someone can have my old card for free (Radeon 4350). I'll make a thread once it's out my system.

[k3vst3r]

i owned one too good chip :thumb: actually owned E6600 too before Q6600 :thumb:
