10 Most Iconic Processors of My Lifetime
From dankwiki
Not necessarily "the best", but the most iconic, and those which set the tone of an age.
I was born in October 1980, and thus this list excludes the Intel 8086, Zilog Z80 and MOS 6502. In no particular order:
0. Intel Pentium P55C (October 1996) 1. Motorola 68000 (November 1980) 2. PowerPC 603e (August 1996) 3. DEC Alpha 21164 EV5 (January 1995) 4. MIPS R4000 (October 1991) 5. Intel Core i7-2600K (January 2011) 6. AMD Athlon Thunderbird (DDR 1.4GHz variant) (June 2000) 7. AMD Am386DX-40 (1991) 8. NVIDIA G80 (October 2006) 9. Cray X-MPU (1982)
